System and method for intraparenchymal drug infusion

A system for use with an intraparenchymal drug infusion procedure in which a drug is delivered from a source to an intracerebral target site via an infusate pathway, the system comprising:

• a sensor positioned to sense a parameter indicative of pressure in the infusate pathway;
• a display device;
• and
• a processor programmed to:
• generate a pressure profile for a current intraparenchymal drug infusion procedure infusing drug through the infusate pathway to the intracerebral target site based upon information from the sensor,
• generate comparative information relating to the current intraparenchymal drug infusion procedure,
• prompt the display device to simultaneously display the pressure profile and the comparative information, the simultaneous display being indicative of infusate delivery effectiveness of the current intraparenchymal drug infusion procedure, including indicative of whether a therapeutically effective volume of distribution of the infusate remains at the intracerebral target site.
