The Imaging Jet System provides physicians with a three dimensional image of an endoscope inside a patient.

The Imaging Jet is an endoscopic accessory that provides a spatial view of an endoscope inside a patient. When in use, the sensor catheter is inserted into the biopsy channel of an endoscope inside a patient. The sensor catheter measures the shape of a scope and sends sensory signals to a computer for calculating and displaying the image on the computer screen. A complete Imaging Jet system consists of the following major components: (1). a computer which governs the operation of the whole system, calculates the scope spatial image and displays the image; (2). a signal processing unit which acquires and processes the sensory signals and supplies them to the computer for image calculation; (3). a sensor catheter which is a long flexible rod with sensors embedded inside in its head portion; (4). a sensor catheter transport unit which is used to insert and withdraw sensor catheter into and from the biopsy channel of a scope; and (5). a mobile stand for transporting the whole system.
