System and method for treating select tissue in a living being

A system for positioning a medical instrument device in the body of a patient comprising:

• a computer and a medical device;
• a scanning system including an imaging device for generating image information defining select anatomical regions of the patient's body;
• a location sensing system for sensing the relative positions of said medical instrument device and said select anatomical regions and feeding coded signals representing the sensed positions to said computer;
• said computer programmed for calculating location coordinates of select anatomical regions defined by pixels of images produced by said scanning imaging device and using the coded signals representing the sensed relative positions of said medical instrument device and said select anatomical regions;
• and
• a medical instrument device steering mechanism and a medical instrument device steering controller operable under control of a neural network of said computer, said neural network trained to recognize a select anatomical region and to maintain the medical instrument device within said select anatomical region in real time despite patient movement and changes in the sensed appearance of said select anatomical region.
