Utilization of intraoperative confocal laser endomicroscopy in brain tumor surgery.

CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative real-time, high-resolution tissue imaging has significant clinical potential in the field of neuro-oncology. CLE is an emerging imaging technology that shows promise for improving brain tumor surgery workflow in in vivo and ex vivo studies. Future clinical studies are necessary to demonstrate clinical and economic benefit of CLE. PMID: 30160080 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
