System and method for estimating a treatment region for a medical treatment device

A system for estimating a treatment region for 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:
• generate an estimated treatment region based on positions of the electrodes and an electric field density;
• and
• display the generated region and positions of the electrodes in the display device, the generated treatment region being an estimate of a treatment region which is derived using a numerical model analysis.

A method of estimating a treatment region for a medical treatment device that applies treatment energy through a plurality of electrodes defining a treatment region, the method comprising:

• receiving positions of the plurality of electrodes;
• generating an estimated treatment region based on the received electrode positions, the estimated treatment region being an estimate of a treatment region which is derived using a numerical model analysis;
• and
• graphically displaying the generated treatment region in a display device.
