Summary
The overall aim of this research project is to evaluate the imaging performance of a confocal
endomicroscope. Fluorescein, an FDA-approved topical fluorescent dye, will be used to provide
topical mucosal contrast. The purpose of this instrument is to provide real-time endoscopic
"histology" to guide endoscopic biopsy or endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) in the patient
study group. This endomicroscope probe will be used during colonoscopies in subjects with
colonic dysplasia, known colonic adenomatous polyps scheduled for endoscopic resection, or
suspected dysplasia in subjects with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
