System and method for interactively planning and controlling a treatment of a patient with a medical treatment device

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;
• and
• in 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.

A system for interactively planning a treatment of a patient with a medical treatment device that applies treatment energy 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 continuously changing treatment region in real time as a user moves at least one of the electrodes;
• and
• detect an over-current condition between a pair of electrodes during treatment of a patient, and
• when the over-current condition is detected, provide an option for the user to retreat a treatment zone associated with the pair of electrodes at a different treatment energy level.
