In vivo imaging of the airway wall in asthma: fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy in relation to histology and lung function

BACKGROUND: Airway remodelling is a feature of asthma including fragmentation of elastic fibres observed in the superficial elastin network of the airway wall. Fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy (FCFM) is a new and non-invasive imaging technique performed during bronchoscopy that may visualize...
