1. A method, comprising:
- receiving first emplacement data corresponding to a first medical device;
determining an emplacement of a virtual medical device with respect to a point-of-view location based at least in part on the first emplacement data, wherein the virtual medical device corresponds to the first medical device;
determining a first estimated ablation volume based at least in part on real-time ablation data associated with the first medical device and the first emplacement data;
receiving operating parameters corresponding to the first medical device, the operating parameters comprising a variance parameter that corresponds to a margin of error associated with said determining the first estimated ablation volume;
determining a second estimated ablation volume based at least in part on the variance parameter and the first emplacement data, wherein a size of the second estimated ablation volume is different from a size of the first estimated ablation volume; and
causing one or more displays to display;
a perspective view of at least a portion of the virtual medical device,a perspective view of the first estimated ablation volume, anda perspective view of the second estimated ablation volume.

Abstract
A system and method for providing image guidance for placement of one or more medical devices at a target location. The system can be used to determine one or more affected regions corresponding to the operation of one or more medical devices and display at least a portion of the one or more affected regions. The affected regions can correspond to predicted affected regions and/or dynamic affected regions and can be based at least in part on a variance parameter of the medical device.
