The endoscopist could not visualize the landmarks around the mass that had been shown on both the CT and MR exams. As a result, the endoscopic team could not biopsy the mass accurately. Using Navigator the radiologist was able to display in 3D the route the endoscopist would take to the mass, as well as the landmarks he would see in his scope when he got there. Using this information, the endoscopist followed the path he saw using Navigator until he came to the target area. With a picture of the target area, obtained using Navigator, in his hand he proceeded to biopsy the patient, obtaining a successful result.
