A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE ABLATION OF UTERINE FIBROIDS

摘要

The present disclosure provides a system for ablation of uterine fibroid(s), said system comprising: an ultrasound scanner configured to perform a volume scan of a uterus of a patient; a display coupled with the ultrasound scanner, configured for displaying image and alphanumeric characters; a device comprising an electrode for ablating the uterine fibroid; a controllable energy source coupled with the electrode and configured to supply energy to the electrode. The system comprises one or more processors configured to: receive ultrasound image data from the ultrasound scanner; process the image data to generate a three-dimensional representation of the uterus of the patient; determine location and size of one or more fibroids in the uterus; determine one or more navigation parameters for the electrode, from the display; determine ablation parameters required by the electrode to ablate the fibroid, wherein the device is operatively coupled to the one or more processors, said one or more processors configured to guide the electrode to a required point in the fibroid based on the determined one or more navigation parameters on the display, and wherein, on receipt of a signal, the controllable energy source supplies power to electrode to enable ablation of the fibroid.
