1. A needle deployment and imaging system comprising:

  • a sheath having a proximal end, a distal end, and a handle structure at the proximal end, wherein the sheath is open at its proximal end and at its distal end;

    an imaging core removably coupled to the sheath and adapted to be inserted into the sheath through the open proximal end, removed from the sheath through the open proximal end, and reused, wherein an imaging transducer on the core extends through the open distal end of the sheath when the core is present therein and wherein the imaging transducer may be deflected when the transducer extends beyond the sheath, and wherein the imaging core further comprises a handle structure at a proximal end of the imaging core, the handle structure of the sheath being configured to mate with the handle structure of the imaging core; and

    an interventional core disposed in the sheath.
