Confocal laser endomicroscopy for diagnosis and histomorphologic imaging of brain tumors in vivo.

Early detection and evaluation of brain tumors during surgery is crucial for accurate resection. Currently cryosections during surgery are regularly performed. Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is a novel technique permitting in vivo histologic imaging with miniaturized endoscopic probes at excell...
