Abstract:
1. A system for evaluating an airway, the system comprising: an endoscopy sheath having plural sensors responsive to a first parameter, which sensors are configured about and positioned on the external surface of the endoscopy sheath so that said plural sensors responsive to a first parameter are capable of providing first sensor data related to the airway from more than one cross-sectional position about the endoscopy sheath; an endoscope for disposition within the endoscopy sheath, the endoscope for providing image data of the airway; a visual display; and an endoscopy analysis module configured to receive the first sensor data related to the airway and the imaging data of the airway, the endoscopy analysis module being configured to provide information to the visual display in which the image data and the first sensor data related to the airway are associated so that the visual display depicts, in one image, image data of the airway and first sensor data related to the airway at more than one cross-sectional position about the airway.
