Abstract
A system for recording or recalling ablation information includes a workstation, and control circuitry. The workstation may include a display, a user input device, and a memory. The workstation may be configured to be in electrical communication with an ablation device. The control circuitry may be in electrical communication with the ablation device and the memory. The control circuitry may be configured to receive input associated with an ablation procedure performed by the ablation device, and associate the input with an anatomical structure of the patient.
Claims15
A system for storing and recalling ablation information, the system comprising:
- a workstation having a display, a user input device, and a memory, the workstation configured to be in electrical communication with an ablation device;
- and
- control circuitry in electrical communication with the ablation device and the memory, the control circuitry configured to:
- display a default anatomical structure on the display of the workstation;
- modify the displayed default anatomical structure to cause an appearance of the displayed default anatomical structure to reflect an appearance of a corresponding anatomical structure of a patient;
- receive input to add at least one anchor point to the displayed default anatomical structure to cause the appearance of the displayed default anatomical structure to depict a tumor corresponding to a tumor on the corresponding anatomical structure of the patient;
- position the depiction of the tumor on the displayed default anatomical structure to correspond to a position of the tumor on the corresponding anatomical structure of the patient;
- shape the depiction of the tumor on the displayed default anatomical structure to correspond to a shape of the tumor on the corresponding anatomical structure of the patient;
- further modify the displayed default anatomical structure to cause the appearance of the displayed default anatomical structure to reflect a region of the corresponding anatomical structure of the patient that was ablated via delivery of energy from the ablation device to the corresponding anatomical structure of the patient;
- and
- record, in the memory of the workstation, a level of the energy delivered from the ablation device to the corresponding anatomical structure of the patient and a duration of time that the energy was delivered from the ablation device to the corresponding anatomical structure of the patient.

A system for storing and recalling ablation information, the system comprising:
- a workstation having a display device, a user input device, and a memory;
- and
- control circuitry in communication with the memory, the control circuitry configured to:
- display a default anatomical structure stored in the memory of the workstation on the display device;
- modify the displayed default anatomical structure based on input received via the user input device to cause an appearance of the displayed default anatomical structure to reflect an appearance of a corresponding anatomical structure of a patient;
- add at least one anchor point to the displayed default anatomical structure based on input received via the user input device to cause the appearance of the displayed default anatomical structure to depict a tumor corresponding to a tumor on the corresponding anatomical structure of the patient;
- position the depiction of the tumor on the displayed default anatomical structure to correspond to a position of the tumor on the corresponding anatomical structure of the patient;
- shape the depiction of the tumor on the displayed default anatomical structure to correspond to a shape of the tumor on the corresponding anatomical structure of the patient;
- and
- further modify the displayed default anatomical structure based on input received via the user input device to cause the appearance of the displayed default anatomical structure to reflect a region of the corresponding anatomical structure of the patient that was ablated via delivery of energy from an ablation device to the corresponding anatomical structure of the patient.

- and
- record, in association with the region of the corresponding anatomical structure of the patient that was ablated, at least one parameter of the energy delivered from the ablation device to the corresponding anatomical structure of the patient.
