Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9524149A1] Imaging of a fallopian tube (F) is accomplished using a coaxial system comprising a hysteroscope (10), an access catheter (40), and a falloposcope (60). The access catheter (40) and falloposcope (60) are designed to permit proper alignment between their respective distal ends (45) in order to enhance image quality. A support system for the hysteroscope (10) is provided so that the hysteroscope need not be manually manipulated during the procedure.
