System, method, and apparatus for visualizing and identifying pathological tissue

A method for examining tissue comprising:

• inserting an elongated, cylindrical introducer device into an elongated, cylindrical outer sheath to guide the other sheath through a bodily orifice or surgical incision;
• securing the outer sheath at one or more locations by affixing one or more tabs to the one or more locations;
• removing the introducer device from the outer sheath;
• inserting an elongated, cylindrical probe through the outer sheath to reach a tissue examination site;
• expanding, via control circuitry, a mesh net connected to a distal end of the probe to surround tissue;
• contracting, via the control circuitry, the mesh net to draw the tissue into viewing range of one or more scanners;
• and
• capturing digital images of the tissue via the one more scanners.

An apparatus for examining tissue comprising:

• an elongated, cylindrical probe having therein
• one or more scanners connected to a distal end of the probe and configured to capture digital images of tissue,
• a mesh net connected to the distal end of the probe and configured to grasp tissue, and
• control circuitry configured to expand and contract the mesh net to grasp the tissue;
• a cylindrical outer sheath into which the probe is inserted having one or more tabs extending from the outer sheath to affix the outer sheath at one or more locations;
• and
• an elongated, cylindrical introducer device configured to guide the outer sheath through a bodily orifice or surgical incision when the introducer device is inserted into the outer sheath.
