Compiled by ZEISS Medical Technology
Summary

List of scientific publications on CLE aiding in intraoperative tissue microstructure assessment

In this compendium, ZEISS presents clinical articles on the application of CLE technology in cranial procedures with a focus on the visualization of tissue microstructure. Relevant aspects that are additionally covered include: technology aspects, workflow enhancement and economic impact. The aim is to provide further information and share knowledge.

Each publication is based on the author´s own professional opinion or on their study results. It does not necessarily reflect the opinion of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG and may not be in line with the clinical evaluation or intended purpose of our medical devices. Therefore, suitability of clinical application for each publication should be carefully assessed by the concerned physician.
