System for simultaneously tracking a position of a medical device and ablating a tissue within a body. The system includes a power supply, a navigation device, and a control circuit. The power supply generates a current that is suitable for ablating tissue, such as heart tissue. The navigation device establishes a three-dimensional reference coordinate system and identifies a location of an energy delivery device in relation to the established coordinate system. The control circuit switches or alternates between activating the power supply and acquiring ultrasound data that identifies the location of the medical device within the established coordinate system.
Système de suivi simultané de la position d'un dispositif médical et d'ablation d'un tissu dans un corps. Ce système comprend une alimentation, un dispositif de navigation et un circuit de commande. L'alimentation génère un courant convenant à l'ablation de tissu, tel que le tissu cardiaque. Le dispositif de navigation établit un système de coordonnées de référence tridimensionnel et identifie l'emplacement d'un dispositif de fourniture d'énergie par rapport au système de coordonnées établi. Le circuit de commande commute ou alterne entre l'activation de l'alimentation et l'acquisition de données ultrasonores qui identifient l'emplacement du dispositif médical dans le système de coordonnées établi.
