Abstract

An interventional hysteroscope includes a cannula, an optical imaging element, an ultrasonic imaging element and a treatment element, such as an ablation needle. The cannula has a distal end, a proximal end, and a longitudinal axis therebetween, and the optical imaging element is disposed at the distal end of the cannula. The ultrasonic imaging element is also disposed at the distal end of the cannula and is configured to image along a laterally oriented image path. The treatment element is configured to be deployed from the cannula along a laterally oriented treatment path, and the imaging path and the treatment path intersect at an intersectional location spaced laterally away from the cannula. A display is configured to present both an optical image from the optical imaging element and an ultrasonic image from the ultrasonic imaging element and to present a marker on the ultrasonic image at a location corresponding to the intersectional location.
