1. An ablation system, comprising:

  • a generator adapted to selectively provide ablation energy to an ablation probe;

    an ablation probe operably coupled to the generator and adapted to receive the ablation energy from the generator and to deliver the ablation energy to tissue;

    a controller operatively coupled to the generator, including;

    a processor;

    a memory operatively coupled to the processor;

    a tissue sensor probe operatively coupled to the controller and having a distal end and a proximal end, including;

    a dielectric sensor disposed at a distal end of the tissue sensor probe and configured to provide a dielectric sensor signal corresponding to a dielectric property of tissue;

    a temperature sensor disposed at a distal end of the tissue sensor probe and configured to provide a temperature sensor signal corresponding to a temperature of tissue;

    wherein a dielectric sensor circuit is operatively coupled to the processor and is adapted to receive the dielectric sensor signal from the tissue sensor probe; and

    a temperature sensor circuit is operatively coupled to the processor and is adapted to receive the temperature sensor signal from a tissue sensor probe.
