SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING ABLATION PROGRESS USING REMOTE TEMPERATURE PROBES

摘要

Disclosed are systems and methods for performing a microwave ablation procedure. An illustrative electrosurgical system includes a temperature probe including a temperature sensor, an ultrasound transducer, an electromagnetic (EM) tracking system including an EM field generator and an EM sensor coupled to the temperature probe, a display device, and a computing device including a processor and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to receive, from the EM tracking system, tracking data indicating a position of the EM sensor, receive, from the ultrasound transducer, ultrasound images, determine a position of the temperature probe based on the position of the EM sensor, determine a trajectory of the temperature probe based on the position of the EM sensor, and cause the display device to display an indication of the position and the trajectory of the temperature probe on the ultrasound images.
