Patent ID: 8449538

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving image information of a diseased tissue region in a patient; determining a volume and outline of a necrotic zone required to treat the diseased tissue based on the image information; displaying an image of a virtual model of the diseased tissue on a monitor; displaying an image of the diseased tissue based on the image information overlaid with the image of the virtual model of the diseased tissue; determining waveform parameters to be generated by an electrical waveform generator suitable to destroy the diseased tissue located between first and second electrodes wherein the first and second electrodes are adapted to couple to the electrical waveform generator to receive an irreversible electroporation electrical waveform sufficient to ablate tissue located between the first and second electrodes; and determining whether the generated waveform parameters are suitable to destroy the diseased tissue based on the image of the diseased tissue overlaid on the image of the virtual model.
