Abstract
The present disclosure relates to the field of endoscopy. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for real-time visualization and sampling of target tissue within body passages. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a system that provides real-time visualization of eccentric pulmonary nodules, and which allows the location/orientation of a biopsy needle to be determined prior to its first actuation.
