PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an surgery support system which can fully heat an object for treatment, and to provide a surgery support method.SOLUTION: The surgery support system comprises as follows. An MRI apparatus 1 performs 3D volume imaging a 3D image is reconstructed the 3D image is processed and a treatment indispensable area is described the treatment area by HIFU is designated from the 3D image and the treatment indispensable area the position of an ultrasonic probe 37 is displayed the ultrasonic probe 37 is guided to the body surface of a patient near the treatment area based on the ultrasonic image, a moving position of the ultrasonic probe 37 is supervised on the basis of the treatment area and the moving position displays determination indices 501-505 based on the range defined beforehand.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】治療対象を十分に加熱することが可能な手術支援システムおよび手術支援方法を提供する。【解決手段】MRI装置1により3Dボリューム撮像を行い、3D画像を再構成し、前記3D画像を処理して治療必須領域を描出し、前記3D画像と前記治療必須領域からHIFUによる治療領域を指定し、超音波プローブ37の位置を表示し、超音波プローブ37を治療領域近傍の患者の体表まで誘導し、前記超音波画像に基づき治療領域を基準として超音波プローブ37の移動位置を監視し、前記移動位置が予め定義した範囲に基づき判断指標501~505を表示する【選択図】図5
