Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is reported to be a promising tool for in vivo histopathology during an endoscopy. The most commonly used fluorophore is fluorescein sodium given intravenously. However, so far, there are no objective data on contrast dynamics and image quality over time after injection of the substance. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the ideal time period for the best CLSM imaging when using fluorescein sodium. DESIGN: The proximal stomachs of 4 anesthet...     »
