Devices, systems, methods for validating ablation results in a patient's brain are provided. In some embodiments, the method for validating ablation result in a patient's brain includes obtaining magnetic resonance (MR) data of the patient's brain, by use of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device; obtaining first imaging data of the patient's brain, by use of the MRI device; extracting, by use of computing device in communication with the MRI device, first fiber tracts passing through an anatomy in the patient's brain based on the first imaging data; obtaining, by use of the MRI device, second imaging data of the patient's brain after ablation of the anatomy in the patient's brain has started; extracting second fiber tracts passing through the anatomy in the patient's brain based on the second imaging data; and outputting a graphical representation of a comparison between the first fiber tracts and the second fiber tracts.

Ablation result validation system

Treatment trajectory guidance systems and methods are provided. In one embodiment, the method for treatment trajectory guidance in a patient's brain includes obtaining a three- dimensional (3D) brain model that includes a model of an anatomy, the model of the anatomy including a plurality of feature points; modifying the 3D brain model based on magnetic resonance (MR) data of the patient's brain from a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device to obtain a plurality of modified feature points on a modified model of the patient's anatomy in the patient's brain; displaying on a display a first planned trajectory for treating the patient's anatomy based on the plurality of modified feature points; and displaying, on the display, a first estimated treatment result for the first planned trajectory.
