CLE is reliable for real-time assessment of inflammation activity in UC. Crypt architecture, microvascular alterations, and fluorescein leakage are promising markers in CLE evaluation.
CLE with targeted biopsies is superior to WLE with standard biopsies for the detection and surveillance of GIM. The number of biopsies needed to confirm GIM is about one third of that needed with WLE with standard biopsies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
