How exactly does the IceVue software assist the physician?
The IceVue™ planning software is a tool for the physician to pre-plan the cryoablation procedure. By connecting to any ultrasound system, the planning can be executed on a real-time mage (prostate only). The Auto-plan feature calculates and displays system recommended positioning for each cryoablation needle on a captured ultrasound image. Alternatively, virtual cryoablation needles can be manually placed and the ablation coverage simulated. The resulting isotherm map shows the simulated outcome of the freezing effect and can be adjusted to achieve maximum coverage of the target.
