DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR LOCALIZING MEDICAL DEVICES WITHIN A BODY LUMEN

The disclosure relates to localizing medical devices within a body lumen, such as for identifying the location of, or navigating to, a target tissue. Embodiments include localizing a medical device extended out of a working channel of a delivery device. The medical device may include an imaging sensor, such as for mapping the body lumen. In many embodiments, a delivery device may include one or more sensors including a first sensor to interact with a tracking system to determine the location of the delivery device within a tracking volume and a second sensor to determine the location of the medical device relative to the delivery device. In many such embodiments, a controller may determine the location of the medical device in the tracking volume based on the location of the delivery device in the tracking volume and the location of the medical device with respect to the delivery device.
