The imaging coupler further comprises an instrument connector configured to couple to an imaging instrument. The imaging instrument is configured to be slidably received within a lumen of the elongate device. The imaging coupler further comprises a body portion extending between the elongate device connector and the instrument connector. The imaging coupler further comprises a tubular member coupled to the instrument connector and extending within the body portion. The instrument connector is movable in parallel with a longitudinal axis of the tubular member while the elongate device is coupled to the elongate device connector.
