    Abstract: A system further comprises a processing unit functionally associated with the display, wherein the processing unit comprises an image processing module. The system further comprises a camera functionally associated with the processing unit via a communication channel for transferring images from the camera to the processing unit and configured to obtain images of a biopsy sample obtained from the body of the patient. The processing unit is configured to receive image data from an imaging modality capable of obtaining images of internal patient's body parts not directly visible from outside the body, and to display to a user on a display images related to the image data. The processing unit is further configured to generate, from at least one image of a biopsy sample and using the image processing module, a processed image related to the biopsy sample, and to display the processed image on the display.

    Abstract: Presented are methods and apparatus for delivering a surgical instrument to a treatment site within the body of a subject, enabling accurate placement of surgical tools in areas not directly visible to a surgeon during a surgical procedure, while reducing or eliminating need for real-time imaging modalities to guide placement of those surgical tools. A treatment tool is guided to a treatment site by placing a guiding element at a reference site within a body of a subject, the reference site having a known spatial relationship to the treatment site, and utilizing a positioning tool to guide a treatment tool to a locus so positioned with respect to that guiding element that the spatial relationship between that guiding element and that locus is substantially similar to the spatial relationship known to exist between the reference site and the treatment site, thereby positioning the treatment tool substantially at the treatment site. Methods and apparatus for treatment of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia are also presented.
