System and method for planning treatment of tissue
First Claim
1. A method for treating tissue in a body volume with a surgical device, the method comprising the steps of:
- collecting image data associated with the body volume using an imaging device;
creating an image from the image data;
displaying the image on a display screen;
selecting at least one tissue target in the body volume for treatment;
determining an effective treatment volume of the surgical device;
determining a treatment modality for treating the tissue target with the surgical device, wherein the treatment modality is made up of a set of target treatment volumes;
displaying the set of target treatment volumes with the image during treatment of the at least one tissue target, andupdating the display of the set of target treatment volumes to indicate target treatment volumes that have already been treated, and target treatment volumes yet to be treated.

Abstract
A method and system for treating tissue with a surgical device includes the steps of displaying an image created by collecting imaging data from an imaging device, selecting at least one tissue target from the image, determining the effective treatment volume of the surgical device and determining a treatment modality for treating the tissue target with the surgical device, where the treatment modality is made up of at least one target treatment volume. The method may also include the steps of determining the position and orientation of the imaging device, the image and the surgical device, indicating the trajectory of the surgical device with respect to the image on the display screen, inserting the surgical device in the patient based upon the trajectory and treating the tissue target. The method may further include indicating the target treatment volumes on the display screen.

28. A system for treating tissue in a body volume with a surgical device, the system comprising:
-
an imaging device; a control device; and a display screen; wherein the control device is programmed to perform the steps of; creating an image from image data associated with the body volume collected by the imaging device; displaying the image on the display screen; selecting at least one tissue target in the body volume for treatment; determining an effective treatment volume of the surgical device; determining a treatment modality for treating the tissue target with the surgical device, wherein the treatment modality is made up of a set of target treatment volumes each to be treated in sequence by a discrete application of the surgical device; and displaying the set of treatment volumes on the image during treatment, the set of target treatment volumes indicating the treatment status of each of the target treatment volumes. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31)

32. A system for treating tissue in a body volume with a surgical device, the system comprising:
-
an imaging device; a control device; a display screen; and a surgical device guide including an adjustable stop for limiting the distance the surgical device may be inserted in the body volume wherein the control device is programmed to perform the steps of; creating an image from image data associated with a body volume collected using the imaging device; displaying the image on a display screen; displaying a set of treatment volumes that are updated dynamically to indicate the treatment status of each of the set of target treatment volumes during a treatment session; determining an insertion distance for the surgical device, such that the surgical device may be used to treat a selected tissue target in the body volume; and determining a position of the adjustable stop such that the adjustable stop can be set so that the surgical device may be inserted the insertion distance.
