Methods and systems for determining patient specific treatment parameters for delivering vapor to the lung to treat lung tissue. In some embodiments vapor is delivered to the lung to cause coagulative necrosis, inducing fibrosis and thereby reducing the volume of at least one segment of the lung. The delivery parameters can be adjusted depending on the desired degree of injury to be induced in the lung tissue.

La présente invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes permettant de déterminer des paramètres de traitement spécifiques du patient pour ladministration de vapeur au poumon pour traiter le tissu pulmonaire. Selon certains modes de réalisation, la vapeur est administrée au poumon pour entraîner une nécrose coagulatrice, induisant une fibrose et réduisant ainsi le volume dau moins un segment pulmonaire. Les paramètres dadministration peuvent être ajustés selon le degré souhaité de lésion à induire dans le tissu pulmonaire.
