Abstract
An instrument () is suitable for treatment of lung tumors and other tissues and a respective apparatus () detects the correct positioning of instrument () and its two electrodes () in a suitable target tissue by observation of two parameters (GG) and particularly their time-dependent change. If the change (VV) of the two parameters (GG) exceeds defined thresholds (SS) respectively, a contact between the instrument and the tissue to be treated and thus also the positioning of the instrument in a desired position can be derived therefrom. This remarkably increases treatment safety.
