摘要：
An imaging component comprises shaft and a cavity extending across the shaft from its proximal end towards its distal end. The cavity removably receives at least one of a plurality of different instruments. A wall of the cavity comprises an elongated opening in communication with an exterior of the shaft at least partially along the shaft. An imaging transducer is coupled to the distal end of the shaft. The imaging component is advanced to a target site either alone or with a first instrument coupled thereto. A therapeutic or diagnostic procedure is performed with the first instrument. The first instrument is then retracted and removed from the imaging component while the imaging component stays at the target site. A second instrument is then coupled to the imaging component and advanced to the target site to perform a further therapeutic or diagnostic procedure.
