The identification of intraepithelial neoplasia in Barrett’s esophagus in cases where there are no visible focal lesions remains a challenge. Novel techniques such as narrow-band imaging-assisted magnification endoscopy or confocal laser microscopy could, however, improve the endoscopic detection of neoplasia in Barrett’s esophagus 1,2. A miniprobe-based confocal laser microscopy system (Cellvizio-GI; Mauna Kea Technologies, Paris, France) became available recently which allows the application of laser microscopy with any conventional endoscope and mosaic imaging 3,4.
