CONFOCAL LASER ENDOMİCROSCOPY
• Confocal endomicroscopes aim at providing microscopic imaging of a living tissue to the clinician• ‘‘Optical biopsies’’
CONFOCAL LASER ENDOMİCROSCOPY
• Such systems have recently been applied to the explorations of several organs, including the upper and the lower GIS, pancreato-biliary tract
• More recently to the proximal and distal airways in vivo
CONFOCAL LASER ENDOMİCROSCOPY
• Commercially;
1- Optisan/Pentax Microendoscopy,Japan2- CellVizio-LungR /Mauna Kea Tech, French
OPTİSAN/PENTAX ENDOMİCROSCOPY
• Optiscan endomicroscopy of the gastrointestinal tract provide images very close to conventional histology
OPTİSAN/PENTAX ENDOMİKROSKOPİ
• Two potential drawbacks explain why this system is not yet available for the respiratory tract imaging;
1.Large diameter of distal 2.Scanning rate is too slow (1 frame/second)Respiratory system is more mobile
CELLVİZİO-LUNGR
• A probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy
• Designed for imaging of the internal micro-structures of anatomical tissues
CELLVİZİO-LUNGR
• The device has a laser scanning technology adapted to image by means of an optical fiber bundle
CELLVİZİO-LUNGR
• Uses the principle of proximal scanning• Carries the light to the scanned area by fiber
bundle and miniprobe• The light delivery, scanning, spectral filtering,
and imaging systems are located at the proximal part of the device• The distal part includes a connector which
transfers the image to the miniprobe and the laser scanning unit
CONFOCAL LASER ENDOMİCROSCOPY
Confocal microscopy helps to image in vivo cells and tissues by obtaining lateral and axial resolution
• The illumination and detection systems being conjugated on the same focal plane, are termed confocal
CONFOCAL LASER ENDOMİCROSCOPY
488 nm wavelength is used for imaging• Microspectrometer experiments have clearly
demonstrated that the main fluorescence signal emitted after 488 nm excitation from both bronchial and alveolar human systems originates from the elastin component of the tissue
Elastin fibers
CONFOCAL LASER ENDOMİCROSCOPY
• 1.4 nm diameter miniprobe • 488-nm-wavelength laser light• 9-12 frames per second• Depth of focus of 0 to 50 micron • Field of view of 600 3 600 micron• Lateral resolution of 3.5 μm• Up to 30,000 microfibers Histological quality image
MİNİPROBE• The miniprobe is applied onto the bronchial wall
surface or advanced into a distal bronchiole down to the acinus and obtains images from these anatomical areas.
The basement membrane of the proximal airways Peripheral interstitial Alveolar wall Macrophage Bronchial epithelial layer Peripheral lung nodules
CONFOCAL LASER ENDOMİCROSCOPY
• Alveolar septal wall• Microvessels • Macrophage• Basement membrane
CONFOCAL LASER ENDOMİCROSCOPY
• After the procedure Hemorrhage (because of miniprobe) there is no need to intervention
CONFOCAL LASER ENDOMİCROSCOPY
• Contrast agent Intravenous: Fluorescein %1,4 emesis, hypotension and epigastric pain
Topical: Acriflavine, Metilen blue
IMAGING OF THE PROXIMAL BRONCHI• Under local anesthesia• Miniprobe is introduced into the working channel of the
bronchoscope• The depth of focus being 50 mm below the contact surface,
subepithelial connective tissue lamina densa, lamina reticularis
480 nm fluoreskeine bronchial basement membrane Benign, malignant/premalignant bronchial alterations
FROM THE DİSTAL BRONCHIOLES DOWN TO THE LUNG ACINI
• Elastin represents up to 50% of the peripheral lung connective tissue fibers
• Bronchial wall, alveolus, extra-alveolar microvessels
CONFOCAL LASER ENDOMİCROSCOPY FOR DİAGNOSİNG LUNG CANCER İN VİVO
32 patients with suspected malignancies underwent bronchoscopy with endomicroscopy using acriflavine
75,522 confocal images from 56 different locations Neoplastic changes: Sensitivity, 96 % Specificity, 87 % Accuracy, 91 % Fuchs et al. Eur Respir J. 2012 Sep 20. [Epub ahead of print]
