    摘要: Systems and methods for estimating tissue parameters, including mass of tissue to be treated and a thermal resistance scale factor between the tissue and an electrode of an energy delivery device, are disclosed. The method includes sensing tissue temperatures, estimating a mass of the tissue and a thermal resistance scale factor between the tissue and an electrode, and controlling an electrosurgical generator based on the estimated mass and the estimated thermal resistance scale factor. The method may be performed iteratively and noniteratively. The iterative method may employ a gradient descent algorithm that iteratively adds a derivative step to the estimates of the mass and thermal resistance scale factor until a condition is met. The non-iterative method includes selecting maximum and minimum temperature differences and estimating the mass and the thermal resistance scale factor based on a predetermined reduction point from the maximum temperature difference to the minimum temperature difference.

    摘要: A system and method for determining completion of an ablation procedure is provided. An electrosurgical generator provides an electrosurgical energy source to an electrode probe assembly. The generator is connected to a thermal feedback assembly that includes at least one temperature sensor assembly. The generator includes a computer configured to (1) measure a time of energy delivered to the target tissue, (2) receive a temperature reading from the thermal feedback assembly, (3) estimate a size of an ablation volume based on the temperature reading, a distance between the electrode probe assembly and each temperature sensor assembly, and the measured time, (4) calculate a growth rate of the ablation volume based on the estimated size. The computer may also determine the ablation procedure is complete when the growth rate is less than or equal to a threshold.

    摘要: The invention relates to a temperature distribution determining apparatus for determining a temperature distribution within an object caused by applying energy to the object. A temperature distribution measuring unit (6, 7) measures a spatially and temporally dependent first temperature distribution in the object (3), while the energy is applied to the object (3) such that the object (3) is heated to a temperature within a first temperature range, and a temperature distribution estimating unit (5) estimates a spatially and temporally dependent second temperature distribution in the object (3) within a second temperature range, which is different to the first temperature range, based on the spatial and temporal dependence of the measured first temperature distribution. Since temperature distributions can be obtained not only in the first temperature range, but also in the second temperature range, the overall temperature range, in which the temperature distribution can be determined, can be increased.
