Claim 23:
24. A bronchoscopic-based system for planning to ablate a target tissue in a lung of a patient with an ablation applicator comprising:
a storage for receiving image data of the lung of the patient including the target tissue to be ablated; and
a processor programmed and operable to:
compute, based on the image data of the lung, at least one candidate path for the ablation applicator to be advanced through the airway of the patient to a candidate point of entry (POE), and from the POE to the target tissue;
create a learned ablation model based on past experimental data, and wherein the past experimental data includes measurements from ablation testing on sample tissue; and
compute an ablation zone and ablation treatment parameters based on said learned ablation model to maximize ablation coverage of the target tissue for each said candidate path.
