SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING COMPUTER GUIDED ABLATION OF TISSUE

摘要

A system (10) for providing computer guided ablation of tissue is described. The system (10) comprises an imaging device (12) which receives imaging data (14) from a treatment region of a patient (16). The imaging device (12) provides imaging output data (18) to a physician or other operator (20) and imaging signals (22) to an ablative surgical computer system (24) which includes a guidance module (26) for processing the imaging signals (22) and providing a treatment plan (23) to the operator (20). The computer system (2 4) also includes a treatment module (28) for acquiring and processing surgical device output data (30), for optimally controlling treatment parameters (32) and providing feedback information (34) to the operator (20) based on the treatment guidance plan (23). A set of surgical devices (36) includes ablati ve devices (38) for providing ablation of the treatment region based on the treatment parameters (32) and operator input (40).
