Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy for the Differentiation of Normal from Neoplastic Barrett's Mucosa
Year: 2013
Type: reference-entry
Abstract: Confocal laser endomicroscopy allows for in vivo microscopic scanning of the Barrett's segment and might improve the detection of neoplastic lesions. Here the basic principles of this innovative technique are shown and how to differentiate between normal gastric mucosa, nonneoplastic Barrett's mucosa, and Barrett's neoplasia is demonstrated. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
