Claim 19:
20. A method for deploying a plurality of tines from a needle in tissue, said method comprising:
providing a real time image of the tissue including an anatomical feature to be treated on a display;
displaying a probe as the probe is positioned near the anatomical feature, the probe including the plurality of tines;
projecting an image of at least one of a treatment region for a treatment or a safety region on the real time image, wherein the safety boundary comprises a minimum threshold distance beyond a boundary of the treatment region where a risk of damaging tissue during the treatment is reduced;
adjusting at least one of a size or a position of a projected boundary of the projected image of the at least one of the treatment region or the safety region on the real time image, wherein adjusting the at least one of the size or the position of the projected boundary comprises user adjustment of a first interface; and
displaying the plurality of tines on the real time image as the plurality of tines is deployed from the probe, wherein the plurality of tines is positioned relative to the probe and the tissue to provide the treatment within the projected boundary after the projected boundary has been adjusted,
wherein the plurality of tines is deployed from the probe by operation of a second interface on the handle of the probe.
