Establishment and Effectiveness Evaluation of a Training System for Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy

Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) is an advanced in vivo imaging technique that combines confocal microscopy with endoscopy, enabling real-time, microscopic visualization of tissues at a cellular level during endoscopic procedures. Probe-based CLE (pCLE) can enter the stomach cavity through the biopsy channel of the endoscope and observe the gastric mucosa. To generate diagnostic results of pCLE, two pCLE experts dignosed independent. Any discrepancies are then resolved by a third expert.

Magnifying Endoscopy with Blue Laser Imaging (ME-BLI) is an advanced endoscopic imaging technique that combines high-resolution magnification with laser-enhanced visualization to improve the detection and characterization of gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal lesions. Developed by Fujifilm, BLI utilizes specific laser wavelengths to enhance surface and vascular patterns, making it particularly useful for diagnosing early-stage cancers and precancerous conditions in the stomach, colon, and esophagus. To generate diagnostic results of ME-BLI, two ME-BLI experts dignosed independent. Any discrepancies are then resolved by a third expert.

The diagnosis results of CLE trainees are generated by each trainee themselves.
