Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to dual-function medical devices with diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, such as real-time visualization and ablation. Many embodiments may include an ergonomic handle and dual-lumen catheter configured for dual-function diagnostic and therapeutic use during a medical procedure, such as a duodenoscope. The medical device may be delivered within an endoscope working channel to provide real-time visualization (e.g., radial ultrasound imaging) and treatment (e.g., soft tissue ablation) of cancerous tissue. For instance, a first lumen may include a high-frequency linear or radial ultrasound and the second lumen may include a surgical instrument, such as an ablation tool. Some embodiments may include a controller with a feedback loop configured to adjust the therapeutic tool based on data from the diagnostic tool. For instance, the power of an ablation tool may be adjusted by the controller based on data generated by an imaging device.
