Background: This report describes the development and the clinical evaluation of a novel confocal endomicroscope for obtaining fluorescence images of cellular morphology of the mucosae of the upper- and the lower-GI tract in vivo. The work assessed the feasibility of performing in vivo microscopy at endoscopic examination and evaluated fluorescence imaging protocols.
Methods: Images were collected in real time by using two prototype endoscope configurations, featuring slightly different miniaturized fiber-optic confocal microscopes, fitted integrally into the tips of conventional endoscopes.
