Abstract:
According to some embodiments, a medical instrument (for example, an ablation device) comprises an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end, an energy delivery member positioned at the distal end of the elongate body, a first plurality of temperature-measurement devices carried by or positioned within the energy delivery member, the first plurality of temperature-measurement devices being thermally insulated from the energy delivery member, and a second plurality of temperature-measurement devices positioned proximal to a proximal end of the energy delivery member, the second plurality of temperature-measurement devices being thermally insulated from the energy delivery member.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 17 ,\n wherein the at least one thermal shunt member is configured to transfer heat while not retaining heat, and wherein the at least one thermal shunt member comprises a thermal diffusivity greater than 1.5 cm 2 /sec; and wherein the at least one fluid passage is configured to place the ablation member in fluid communication with a fluid source to selectively remove heat from the ablation member and/or tissue of a subject located adjacent the ablation member.
