Abstract
A method and system includes, using a probe, applying irreversible electroporation (IRE) pulses to tissue over a time period to form a lesion in the tissue. A contact force applied to the tissue by the probe is measured over the time period. An IRE index is calculated based on the measured contact force and on a power level of the IRE pulses. Whether a value of the calculated estimated IRE index values has reached the prespecified target IRE index value is determined. Application of the IRE pulses to the tissue is displayed as a graphic and/or alphanumeric data while the estimated IRE index values are being calculated.
