Abstract: Endocytoscopy (EC) is an ultra-high magnification endoscope. The latest generation of EC can enlarge the image by 520 times. Combined with staining or narrow-band imaging technology, it can observe and diagnose colorectal lesions at the cellular level to achieve in vivo evaluation close to pathological biopsy. We reviewed recent research on EC classification and application of colorectal polyps, tumors, and inflammatory bowel diseases. We also focused on preparation before EC examinations to obtain EC images with better quality.

Key words: endocytoscopy, colorectal lesions, polyp, tumor, inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)
