Apparatus and methods are described providing improved surgical and similarly invasive procedures. The components may be used individually or collectively as a system. They consist of new apparatus for insertion of transducers and transducer arrays into the body cavity, apparatus and procedures for controlling pressure differential between the body cavity and the atmosphere, imaging techniques to combine the now available real-time images with pre-procedure imaging, and robotic placement techniques that when combined with all of the above provide improved surgical and medical procedures.
