Methods and systems for real-time planning and monitoring of ablation needle deployment within an organization

摘要

The control handle of the treatment probe is manipulated to advance and / or deploy one or more treatment structures into the tissue. The treatment probe displays an image field coupled to the display and containing target tissue for treatment. A virtual therapy boundary and a safety boundary are placed on the image field. The boundary includes a virtual stop position for the needle and branch. A joystick or directional pad on the probe handle that is independently operable from the user interface to advance and / or deploy one or more treatment structures may be manipulated to adjust the size and / or position of these boundaries. A sensor in the probe detects the real-time position of one or more treatment structures, and the sensed position is displayed in real time. The user can observe the display and deploy one or more treatment structures to the displayed virtual stop position.
