Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for mapping a body lumen, including but not limited to, a colon. These methods may include the robotic and/or automatic or semi-automatic use of one or more rigidizing member to create a stable foundation from which a second member (which is optionally rigidizing) may be advanced and/or withdrawn and/or rotated in order to take multiple images of the body lumen (e.g., of the walls of the body lumen) to create a coverage map of the body lumen. These methods may include controlling the first and/or second member to apply one or more techniques to ensure that the mapping is performed rapidly while achieving full or nearly full coverage of the body lumen over the full extent of the lumen or a selected sub-region.
