Abstract
A system and method of modeling a necrotized tissue in an ablation procedure, the method comprising providing, at a computational component, a computer model of a volume of human tissue, simulating, by the computational component, an ablation site in the computer model, determining, by the computational component, a deposited power density relating to at least an ablation parameter using at least an ablation mode, determining, by the computational component, a heat distribution at the ablation site as a function of the deposited power density, and identifying, by the computational component, a volume of tissue necrotized during an ablation procedure performed at the ablation site.
Claims9
A system for simulating an ablation volume, the system comprising a computational component, the computational component being configured to:
- receive an ablation probe ablative energy data;
- calculate an electromagnetic field deposited power density from the ablation probe in a first model ablation volume;
- calculate a thermal distribution resulting from the deposited power density from the ablation probe in a second model ablation volume, wherein the first model ablation volume is smaller than the second model ablation volume;
- and
- determine boundaries of the ablation volume according to the calculations of the electromagnetic field deposited power density and the thermal distribution from the ablation probe.
