Claim 8:
9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions, that when executed by one or more processors of a tumor ablation system, cause the tumor ablation system to:
monitor temperature of tissue surrounding a probe via multiple thermocouples, the multiple thermocouples to measure temperature at different points along a length of the probe;
configure a display to provide a graphical user interface illustrating a first potential ablation zone, a second potential ablation zone, a third potential ablation zone, and a fourth potential ablation zone, wherein each of the potential ablation zones corresponds to one of the multiple thermocouples;
receive input from a user indicating a desired ablation region corresponding to one of the potential ablation zones;
determine a primary thermocouple by determining which of the multiple thermocouples is nearest an outer perimeter of the desired ablation region;
monitor an impedance of the tissue between a first conductor and a second conductor of the probe; and
adjust an output current of a generator, wherein the generator produces an electrical alternating current to be conducted between the first conductor and the second conductor via tissue within the desired ablation region, the output current to:
decrease when the impedance increases,
decrease when a maximum distal temperature is reached, and
stop when a thermal dose at the primary thermocouple reaches a target threshold, be based on a type of a procedure being performed, and
be based on a type of a procedure being performed.
