Systems and methods for energy delivery
First Claim
1. A system comprising an energy delivery device and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to identify a target tissue region adjusted for ablation-related anatomical changes,wherein identifying the target tissue region adjusted for expected ablation-related anatomical changes comprises:
- a) receiving information regarding the tissue region and the energy delivery device,b) computing a contraction region within the tissue region,c) determining contraction points within the tissue region,d) computing contraction deformations within the tissue region,e) applying the computed contraction deformations, andf) identifying the target tissue region adjusted for ablation-related anatomical changes.

Abstract
The present invention relates to comprehensive systems and methods for delivering energy to tissue for a wide variety of applications, including medical procedures (e.g., tissue ablation, resection, cautery, vascular thrombosis, treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and dysrhythmias, electrosurgery, tissue harvest, etc.). In certain embodiments, systems and methods are provided for identifying and treating a target tissue region adjusting for ablation-related anatomical changes (e.g., tissue contraction).
