Abstract
An ablation system includes a computing device and an ablation device configured to ablate a target. The computing device is configured to generate a three dimensional model based on functional respiratory imaging data of a patient and to predict an ablation zone based on the functional respiratory imaging data.
Claims20
An ablation system, comprising:
- an ablation device configured to navigate to a target within a lung of a patient and ablate the target;
- and
- a computing device configured to:
- receive functional respiratory imaging data of the patient;
- generate a three dimensional model of the lung of the patient based on the received functional respiratory imaging data of the patient;
- predict lung movement based on the received functional respiratory imaging data of the patient;
- predict movement of the ablation device relative to the lung and the target during a predetermined duration of ablation;
- and
- predict an ablation zone position and margin relative to the target based on the received functional respiratory imaging data of the patient and the predicted movement of the ablation device relative to the lung and the target during the predetermined duration of ablation.

An ablation system, comprising:
- a computing device configured to:
- receive functional respiratory imaging data of a lung of a patient and a target within the lung;
- predict lung movement based on the received functional respiratory imaging data of the patient;
- predict movement of an ablation device relative to the lung and the target during a predetermined duration of ablation;
- and
- predict an ablation zone position and margin relative to the target based on the received functional respiratory imaging data of the patient and the predicted movement of the ablation device relative to the lung and the target during the predetermined duration of ablation.

An ablation system, comprising:
- a computing device configured to:
- receive functional respiratory imaging data of a lung of a patient and a target within the lung;
- predict an ablation zone position and margin relative to the target based on the received functional respiratory imaging data of the patient;
- receive post-procedure data corresponding to an actual ablation zone position and margin;
- and
- compare the post-procedural data corresponding to the actual ablation zone position and margin with the predicted ablation zone position and margin to calculate a deviation between the actual ablation zone position and margin with the predicted ablation zone position and margin.
