摘要:
The present invention provides systems and methods for temperature-controlled ablation using radiometric feedback. Under one aspect, an interface module for use with an electrosurgical generator and an integrated catheter tip (ICT) having a radiometer, an ablative tip, and a thermocouple, may include (a) a processor (b) a first input/output (I/O) port to receive digital radiometer and digital thermocouple signals from the ICT (c) a second I/O port to receive ablative energy from the generator (d) a temperature display (e) a patient relay (f) a computer-readable medium storing instructions for causing the processor to: (i) calculate a temperature adjacent to the ICT based on the digital radiometer and thermocouple signals and operation parameters (ii) causing the temperature display to display the calculated temperature and (iii) closing the patient relay such that the patient relay passes ablative energy received on the second I/O port to the first I/O port and (g) a temperature control subsystem to regulate the ablative power based on the calculated temperature.
