The invention relates to a planning apparatus (1) for determining an ablation probe parameter. A thermal energy determination unit determines, in a first part of a planning procedure, a first thermalenergy distribution by using a thermal energy function like a Bioheat equation such that a temperature-based condition is fulfilled, which is indicative of a desired treatment outcome for a subject (18). An ablation probe parameter determination unit determines, in a second part, the ablation probe parameter by using a second thermal energy function, which relates a second thermal energy distribution to be caused by the ablation probe (22) to b) the ablation probe parameter, such that a deviation between the first thermal energy distribution and the second thermal energy distribution fulfillsa predefined deviation criterion. This dissection into two parts allows for an improved adaptability of the determination of the ablation probe parameter to different types of ablation procedures. 本发明涉及一种用于确定消融探头参数的规划装置(1)。热能确
