Colorectal Lesions

Cellvizio® is the real-time in vivo cellular imaging platform that enables you to detect and monitor the progression of colorectal lesions in vivo over time using proprietary advanced imaging technology.

With the help of endomicroscopy, physicians can also better detect residual neoplasia following EMR as compared with WLE, and adapt the re-treatment modalities if needed.1,2,3,4,6

Cellvizio® enables you to monitor tissue at the cellular level during standard endoscopies, which helps differentiate between non-neoplastic and neoplastic tissue. This technique allows for a real-time characterization of polyps during screening colonoscopies and characterization of lesions at risk for cancer.

With the help of endomicroscopy, physicians can also better detect residual neoplasia following EMR as compared with WLE, and adapt the re-treatment modalities if needed. 1,2,3,4,6 

The addition of pCLE provides higher sensitivity and excellent NPV, thus allowing a highly accurate decision to not treat again in cases where lesions appear to be non-neoplastic.
