Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy in Digestive Diseases
Advances in endoscopy have led to imagining of the details of digestive mucosa. Novel
techniques such as Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) assisted magnification endoscopy, Auto
Fluorescence Imaging (AFI) or confocal laser endomicroscopy could, however, improve the
endoscopic detection.In this research we describe the combined use of these three techniques
in patients with digestive disease.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects over 18 years of age
- Subjects undergoing endoscopic procedures such as gastroscopy, colonoscopy,
endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasound will all be
included
Exclusion Criteria:
- Under 18 years of age.
- Pregnancy or breast feeding
- Allergy to the fluorescent contrast agent fluorescein sodium
- Coagulopathy or bleeding disorder
- In emergency or life-threatening situations(eg. acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage,
and gastrointestinal obstruction or perforation)
- impaired renal function, allergic asthma,
- Cognitively impaired.
- Residing in institutions (eg. prison, extended care facility)
- Have language barriers (eg. illiterate, dysphasic)
