In‐vivo microscopy in the diagnosis of intestinal neoplasia and inflammatory conditions

Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is a rapidly emerging tool in endoscopic imaging allowing in‐vivo microscopy of examined gastrointestinal mucosa. This review will discuss the most recent advances of confocal laser endomicroscopy in the diagnosis of intestinal neoplasia and inflammatory conditions.
