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).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

We 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 contraction deformations within the tissue region, and   c) identifying the target tissue region adjusted for ablation-related anatomical changes.
