1. A tissue ablation system, comprising:

  • a first electrode assembly adapted for insertion into a target tissue mass within a body, the first electrode assembly including a first electrode coupled to a source of RF energy; and

    an ultrasound imaging probe movably coupled to the first electrode assembly for insertion with the first electrode assembly to a desired location relative to the target tissue mass, the probe being movable relative to the first electrode assembly between an insertion configuration in which a distal end of the probe covers a distal end of the first electrode assembly and a deployed configuration in which the distal end of the first electrode assembly is uncovered.
