Abstract
A therapy planning and image guidance and navigation for an interventional procedure are combined in one system. The system includes: a radio frequency ablation therapy planning component () capable of creating an initial treatment plan, adjusting the treatment plan to take into account data received during a procedure and transferring a treatment plan to a navigation component, a navigation system component () to guide an ablation probe () and a feedback sub-system () for determining actual ablation probe positions/orientations and actual ablation size/shape via imaging () and/or tracking () systems, and enabling exchange of information between the planning component and the navigation component. By combining and integrating procedure planning and navigation, and by providing feedback from the navigation component back to the planning component about actual electrode position and orientation and ablation volume, complex procedures can be carried out more accurately, efficiently, and potentially with better clinical outcomes.
