System and Method for Estimating A Treatment Region for a Medical Treatment Device

摘要

A medical system and method for estimating a treatment region for a medical treatment device is provided. The system includes a memory; a processor coupled to the memory; and a treatment control module stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The treatment control module generates an estimated treatment region which is an estimate of a treatment region which would have been derived as a result of a numerical model analysis such as a finite element analysis. Advantageously, the estimated treatment region is generated using a fraction of the time it takes to generate the region using the numerical model analysis.

1. A system for interactively planning a treatment of a patient with an electroporation medical treatment device that applies irreversible electroporation (IRE) pulses through a plurality of electrodes defining a treatment region, the system comprising:
a memory; a display device; a processor coupled to the memory and the display device; and a treatment control module stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the treatment control module adapted to graphically display in the display device:
a treatment target area; andin real time a continuously changing treatment region and positions of the electrodes that apply IRE pulses as a user moves at least one of the electrodes.
