摘要

#$%^&*AU2018203828B220190207.pdf#####ABSTRACT A method for performing a medical procedure, includes, coupling a probe to tissue in an organ of a patient. Ablation energy is applied to the tissue using the probe. A model of an evolution of steam pressure in the tissue, caused by the ablation energy, as a function of time is estimated. Based on the model, an occurrence time of a steam pop event caused by the steam pressure is predicted, and the predicted occurrence time of the steam pop event is indicated to an operator.1/5 'IT CN CO co C) IT (0 00 co co I C) (D CN LL % 00 CN o) (0 04 CN 00 CN CN CN CN C) CO CN co
