Patent ID: 8623006

Claim:
An actuation system for an ablation instrument for an ablation process in a tissue volume, comprising: an input interface configured to receive image data of the tissue volume; a processor configured to implement: an identification unit configured to identify a target tissue of a patient using the image data; a model production unit configured to produce an initial process model of expected ablation developments in the target tissue, the model production unit being linked to a value derivation unit configured to derive model measured values from the initial process model; a command derivation unit configured to derive initial control commands on the basis of the produced initial process model; and a value determination unit configured to determine measured values representing ablation progress after using the initial control commands; an instrument interface configured to transmit the initial control commands to the ablation instrument; and a comparator configured to compare the measured values with the model measured values, the model production unit being further configured to produce a refined process model of expected ablation developments in the target tissue as a volume of the target tissue chancres due to implementation of a previous process model based on a comparison of the measured values representing the ablation progress in the target tissue with the previous process model, the model production unit being further configured to plan further ablation of the target tissue on the basis of the produced refined process model, the command derivation unit further configured to derive refined control commands on the basis of the produced refined process models, and the instrument interface configured to transmit refined control commands to the ablation instrument.
