Konfokális mikroszkópia a bőrgyógyászati gyakorlatban: egyedülálló lehetőség szövettani szintű képalkotásra in vivo nem invazív módon

Abstract

Among non-invasive in vivo techniques the use of reflectance mode confocal microscopy (RCM) is the most common. In vivo RCM images are horizontal ones similar to dermatoscopy and allow tissue and cellular level analysis almost identical to routine histopathology. In vivo RCM is recommended mainly for the examination of clinically and dermatoscopically equivocal lesions and it can be used to delineate-demark tumor borders prior to surgery, to monitor the results of non-invasive therapies, and to detect recurrent tumors and to diagnose inflammatory skin diseases. In vivo confocal microscopy examination is available at the Department of Dermatology and Allergology of Albert Szent-Györgyi Health Center, University of Szeged and at the Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Oncodermatology Medical School, University of Pécs.
