Abstract
A method for displaying real-time ablation growth projections is provided. The method includes applying, by a processor, an ablation model to image data of a patient. The ablation model is based on a position of an ablation probe, and the ablation probe is coupled to the processor. The method also includes displaying, on a display coupled to the processor, a projected ablation zone on the image data. The projected ablation zone is based on ablation parameters and the position of the ablation probe. The projected ablation zone includes a margin showing a confidence level. The method further includes ablating by the ablation probe. The ablating is based on an evaluation of the projected ablation zone with respect to a target. A system for performing a microwave ablation procedure is provided. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions is provided.
