Abstract
Advanced Endoscopic Imaging
Highlights
In the attempt to overcome these limitations, new endoscopic techniques are constantly being introduced
Various studies have shown the usefulness of these imaging techniques for conditions such as Barrett’s esophagus, colon polyps, and early neoplasias of the luminal GI tract
The recently introduced confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) system allows us to analyze structures at the cellular and subcellular layer thereby obtaining an optical biopsy during ongoing endoscopy
Summary
In the attempt to overcome these limitations, new endoscopic techniques are constantly being introduced. Neurath,[1] Arthur Hoffman,[3] and Charles Melbern Wilcox[2] We are still confronted with some limitations of GI endoscopy including the lack of detection of colon polyps (i.e., significant adenoma miss rates), delayed diagnosis, and difficult areas to access, like the pancreatobiliary tract or the small bowel.
