A locatable endoscope (14) attachment including an attachment (20) connectable to an insertion tube portion of an endoscope for determining the endoscope's (14) position; and one or more sensors (22), fixedly positioned with respect to the attachment (20), which are used for determining the positions of the one or more sensors (22). Preferably, when the attachment (20) is fixedly attached to the endoscope (14), the one or more sensors (22) are distanced from elements of the endoscope which interfere with determining the positions of the one or more sensors (22).

Cette invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'endoscope (14) localisable, lequel dispositif comprend une fixation (20) pouvant être connectée à une partie d'un tube d'insertion d'un endoscope (14) afin de déterminer la position de ce dernier (14). Ce dispositif comprend également un ou plusieurs capteurs (22) qui se trouvent en position fixe par rapport à la fixation, et dont la position peut être déterminée. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, lorsque la fixation est attachée à l'endoscope (14), le ou les capteurs (22) sont situés à distance des éléments de l'endoscope qui pourraient entraver le processus de définition de la position desdits capteurs (22).
