An apparatus for contemporaneously treating a sequence of treatment sites in an internal organ and creating a viewable map of the treated sites includes a first catheter having a proximal end and a distal end for insertion through a body passage to tissue needing treatment. A needle assembly is attached to the distal end of the first catheter to permit injection of fluid into treatments sites of the tissue. A fluid injection assembly is connected to the proximal end of the first catheter and containing predetermined amounts of radiographic contrast agent and treatment agent for injection into the various treatment sites. A radiographic visualizing apparatus is aimed at the treatment sites, including a display screen for displaying the extent of migration of radiographic contrast agent around each treatment site after injection, so that a radiographic marking appears on the display screen for a predetermined amount of time after each injection, showing which treatment sites have been treated. In another embodiment a second catheter having a distal end with a treatment element attached to its distal end and a control apparatus attached to its proximal end is used to perform treatment of the tissue contemporaneously with injection of radiographic contrast agent into the tissue.

An endotracheal tube includes an inflatable balloon close to the distal end. A camera is mounted on the wall of the endotracheal tube proximate and upstream from the balloon to provide a real time image of any accumulation of secretions in the area. A light emitting diode is also mounted in the wall of the endotracheal tube to provide illumination for the camera. Sets of electrical conductors may be embedded in the wall of the endotracheal tube to provide electrical power to the camera and to the light emitting diode and to convey a signal from the camera representative of the image captured by the camera. Connectors attached to the electrical conductors are mated with a transmitter module housing electrical power (such as batteries) for providing electrical power to the light emitting diode and to the camera and electrical circuitry for transmitting the signal from the camera with a radio frequency transmitter. A remotely located radio frequency receiver receives the transmitted signal and is coupled with a video monitor to display the real time image captured by the camera.

A low cost camera and radio frequency transmitter are detachably coupled to an endotracheal tube to obtain an image in real time of tissue at the distal end of the endotracheal tube. The image recorded by the camera is transmitted to a low cost radio frequency receiver nearby and conveyed to a video monitor to display the image. The use of a wireless transmission system avoids the presence of wires and cords that otherwise might become entangled and cause the endotracheal tube to be inadvertently repositioned or pulled out of the patient.

An illuminated caliper device includes a caliper assembly having first and second caliper legs each having a pointed tip and a pivot end. A pivot support and first and second pivot elements pivotally connects the pivot ends of the first and second caliper legs to the pivot support. A battery housing attached to the pivot support contains a battery. First and second light emitting diodes are coupled by a switch mounted on the battery housing to first and second terminals of the battery and produced light that is directed to areas of the surface to be measured by pointed tips of the legs. The intensity and color of light emitted by the first light emitting diode are such as to sufficiently illuminate the surface under low ambient illumination conditions without disrupting acquired night vision of a user.
