Confocal laser endomicroscopy is a technique that allows for real-time in vivo imaging of tissues at a cellular level. It involves the use of a specialized endoscope with a laser light source and a confocal imaging system to obtain high-resolution images of tissue structures. This technology is commonly used in the field of gastroenterology for diagnosing and monitoring diseases such as Barrett's esophagus, inflammatory bowel disease, and colorectal cancer. It allows for the visualization of cellular changes and abnormalities in the tissue, providing valuable information for early detection and treatment of diseases.
