More Information
Summary:Various methods and systems are provided for thermal monitoring of tissue with an ultrasound imaging system. In one embodiment, a method comprises acquiring, via an ultrasound probe, an ultrasound image, selecting at least one region of interest in the ultrasound image, extracting features from the at least one region of interest, classifying a thermal state of tissue in the at least one region of interest based on the features, and outputting, via a display device, the thermal state of the tissue. In this way, ultrasound imaging may be used for real-time thermal monitoring of tissue during an ablation procedure, thereby improving the accuracy and efficacy of the ablation procedure.
