Endoscopic ultrasound guided needle based confocal endomicroscopy
Needle based confocal laser endomicroscopy is a technique that enables in vivo microscopic analysis during ongoing endoscopy. It has good accuracy for predicting the final histopathological diagnosis based on immediate evaluation of tissue and vascular patterns. nCLE microprobe is a flexible probe thin enough that it can be passed through a 19-gauge needle. Thus under EUS guidance solid organs (i.e. the pancreas) can be accessed for real-time microscopic information.
