Core Tip	The identification of minute inflammatory or atrophic changes is very difficult using conventional endoscopy. This is because these changes are usually predicted using non-specific endoscopic findings, such as superficial color, edema and erosions. However, endocytoscopy enables real-time histology, which corresponds well with conventional histopathology. The procedure is also simple (the endocytoscope only has to make contact with the gastric wall) and is therefore expected to be used regularly globally in the future.
