Deep High-Resolution fluorescence microscopy of full organs: thebenefit of ultraminiature Confocal MiniprobesTM

摘要

Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) based on ultraminiature miniprobes (Cellvizio , Mauna Kea Technologies,Paris, France) is able to image the inner microstructure of retroperitoneal full organs punctured during EUS-FNAprocedures, such as pancreas, liver or lymph nodes. Therefore, pCLE can provide an easy-to-use and precise adjunct toolto ultrasonographic interventions in order to target suspicious areas for biopsies in EUS-FNA.
