System and method for performing an electrosurgical procedure using an ablation device with an integrated imaging device

摘要

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING AN ELECTROSURGICAL PROCEDURE USING AN ABLATION DEVICE WITH AN INTEGRATED IMAGING DEVICE A microwave ablation system is disclosed. The system includes a microwave generator, an ablation device (10) having a radiating portion (12) for delivering microwave energy from the 5 microwave generator into tissue, and an imaging device (30) coupled to the radiating portion (12) and for providing imaging data corresponding to the tissue. A processing unit (24) in communication with the imaging device (30) and a display unit are also included, the processing unit processing imaging data generated by the imaging device, and the display unit displaying the imaging data.
