A system for ablating a thyroid nodule using mobile firing techniques includes an ablation device configured to be inserted into the thyroid nodule. The ablation device has an electrode configured to deliver energy to the thyroid nodule while retracting along an axis defined through the thyroid nodule. The system also includes an electrosurgical generator configured to deliver energy to the ablation device. An audio device is in communication with the electrosurgical generator. The audio device is configured to broadcast a sound related to the at least one sensed tissue characteristic such that the audio device changes the sound in response to a change in the at least one sensed tissue characteristic. 一种用于使用移动射击技术来消融甲状腺结节的系统包括消融装置，该消融装置被配置为插入甲状腺结节中。该消融装置具有电极，该电极被配置为在沿着穿过该甲状腺结节限定的轴线回缩的同时将能量递送到该甲状腺结节。该系统还包括电外科发生器，该电外科发生器被配置为将能量递送到该消融装置。音频装置与该电外科发生器通信。该音频装置被配置为广播与至少一个感测到的组织特性相关的声音，使得该音频装置响应于该至少一个感测的组织特性的变化而改变该声音。
