title: Uses of probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy: responses to a question to practitioners.
abstract: Confocal laser endomicroscopy is a novel imaging technology, which allows real-time visualization and interpretation of microscopic details in live tissues. Although several potential uses have been identified for this technology, no data are available regarding its real-world uses. We report the results of an email-based survey of experts in North America regarding their use of the technology.
