摘要： The invention is system for mapping and imaging the interior of a bodily cavity of a patient. The invention comprising a position indication means (63) variably positionable within the bodily cavity; a position detection means (64) for receiving a signal from the position indication means (63) and a processor means that analyses the signal and provides an output indicative of the location of the position indication means (63) relative to the position detection means (64). The invention also comprises a first imaging means (65) positionable within and for producing a first image of the interior, and at least a second imaging (62) means positionable within and for producing a second image of the interior. The second imaging means (62) is movable relative to the first imaging means (65) and positionable in a location wherein first image depicts the location of the second imaging means (62).
