BACKGROUND Currently,there is insufficient data about the accuracy in the diagnosing of pancreatic cystic lesions(PCLs),especially with novel endoscopic techniques such as with direct intracystic micro-forceps biopsy(...
Increases in the quality as well as utilization of cross-sectional imaging have led to rising diagnoses of pancreatic cystic lesions(PCL). Accurate presurgical diagnosis enables appropriate triage of PCLs. Unfortunate...
Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique based on the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light that represents the molecular composition of the interrogated volume to provide a direct molecular fingerprint. ...
Confocal laser endomicroscopy permits in-vivo microscopy evaluation during endoscopy procedures. It can be used in all the parts of the gastrointestinal tract and includes: Esophagus,stomach,small bowel,colon,biliary ...
Endoscopy is an indispensible diagnostic and thera-peutic instrument for gastrointestinal diseases. Endo-cytoscopy and confocal endomicroscopy are two types of ultra high magnification endoscopy techniques.Standard en...
In Japan and countries such as South Korea and Tai-wan, China, the standard technique for detecting earlygastric cancer (EGC) is chromoendoscopy. This technique involves a magnified endoscope and the use ofan indigo-c...
AIM:To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of confocal laser endomicroscopy(CLE) for the detection of dysplasia in long-standing ulcerative colitis(UC).METHODS:We prospectively performed a surveillance colonoscopy in 51...
A thorough endoscopic visualization of the digestive mucosa is essential for reaching an accurate diagnosis and to treat the different lesions. Standard white light endoscopes permit a good mucosa examination but, no...
