Abstract
Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is a powerful new technique that permits subsurface imaging at high resolution during ongoing endoscopy in the upper and lower GI tract [1]. Here, we will discuss future trends in CLE and their potential application in clinical practice. In particular, we will focus on molecular imaging using labelled antibodies for immunoendoscopy.
