    摘要: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a microwave ablation system for verifying correct system operation prior to high power energy delivery by a microwave antenna. SOLUTION: The microwave ablation system includes a generator operable to output energy and an ablation probe coupled to the generator that delivers the energy to a tissue region. The ablation system also includes a controller operable to control the generator and at least one sensor coupled to the ablation probe and the controller that detects an operating parameter of the ablation probe. The controller performs a system check by ramping up an energy output of the generator from a low energy level to a high energy level and monitors an output from the sensor at predetermined intervals of time during the system check to determine an abnormal state. The controller controls the generator to cease the energy output when the controller determines an abnormal state. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
