Patent ID: 8518095

Claim:
A set of interstitial energy treatment probe holders, said set comprising: a first probe holder having a first body, the first body including a first body energy probe section defining at least one first body energy probe receiving channel, the at least one first body energy probe receiving channel configured to engage an energy probe such that the energy probe extends through the at least one first body energy probe receiving channel substantially along a first energy probe axis, a first body thermal probe section connected to the first body energy probe section and defining at least one first body thermal probe receiving channel, the at least one first body thermal probe receiving channel configured to engage a thermal probe such that the thermal probe extends through the at least one first body thermal probe receiving channel substantially along a first thermal probe axis, the first energy probe axis and the first thermal probe axis being substantially co-planar, the first thermal probe axis being a first predetermined distance from the first energy probe axis, the first body configured to: (a) engage the energy probe in a user selected position during an interstitial energy treatment, and (b) engage the thermal probe at the first predetermined distance from the energy probe in a user selected one of a plurality of different planes during the interstitial energy treatment; and a second probe holder having a second body, the second body including a second body energy probe section defining at least one second body energy probe receiving channel, the at least one second body energy probe receiving channel configured to engage the energy probe such that the energy probe extends through the at least one second body energy probe receiving channel substantially along a second energy probe axis, a second body thermal probe section connected to the second body energy probe section and defining at least one second body thermal probe receiving channel, the at least one second body thermal probe receiving channel configured to engage the thermal probe such that the thermal probe extends through the at least one second body thermal probe receiving channel substantially along a second thermal probe axis, the second energy probe axis and the second thermal probe axis being substantially co-planar, the second thermal probe axis being a second predetermined distance from the second energy probe axis, the second predetermined distance being different than the first predetermined distance, the second body configured to: (a) engage the energy probe in the user selected position during the interstitial energy treatment, and (b) engage the thermal probe at the second predetermined distance from the energy probe in the user selected one of the plurality of different planes during the interstitial energy treatment.
