I did find this though
Cholangioscopy
In some hospitals during an ERCP, your doctor puts a smaller tube down a channel in the endoscope. This smaller tube has a probe and camera attached (cholangioscope). It can go directly into the bile ducts so the doctor can see if there are any abnormal areas and take biopsies.

Cholangioscopy may be better than ERCP alone in helping pick up abnormal areas that might be due to cancer, and helps your doctor in targeting where to take biopsies from.

I think "probe" is a mistake, FWIW.
