Abstract

A device for enhancing visualization of an esophagus when imaged by a visualization system includes a structure including material that is clearly visible when imaged by the visualization system. The structure is arranged, when inserted into the esophagus, to expand so as to conform to an inner surface of the esophagus in order to enhance a visualization quality of the surface when imaged by the visualization system. A cord attached to the structure is arranged to extend out of the esophagus so as to assist a removal of the device from the esophagus.
