An intraoperative study with ex vivo fluorescence confocal microscopy: diagnostic accuracy of the three visualization modalities

Ex-vivo fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) is an imaging technique that captures real time digital images of freshly excised tissue with quasi histopathological resolution. FCM reduces time to image acquisition compared to hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) frozen section analysis.
