Abstract
A computer-implemented method of providing optimized values of treatment parameters of a thermal ablation device for treating a region of interest within a subject, is provided. The method includes: iteratively adjusting initial values of the treatment parameters based on a difference between the predicted effect of the treatment parameters on the region of interest predicted by a relatively less computationally-expensive model, and a desired effect of the treatment parameters on the region of interest, to provide the optimized values of the treatment parameters; intermittently inputting the adjusted values of the treatment parameters into a relatively more computationally-expensive model; and updating the relatively less computationally-expensive model, and/or a mapping between the values of the parameters inputted into the models, such that the predicted effects of both models on the region of interest more closely match one another.
