System and method for personalized computation of tissue ablation extent based on medical images

Abstract

A method and system for personalized computation of tissue ablation extent based on medical images of a patient is disclosed. A patient-specific anatomical model of the liver and liver vessels is estimated from medical image data of a patient. Blood flow in the liver and liver vessels is simulated. An ablation simulation is performed that uses a bio-heat model to simulate heat diffusion due to an ablation based on the simulated blood flow and a cellular necrosis model to simulate cellular necrosis in the liver based on the simulated heat diffusion. Personalized tissue parameters of the bio-heat model and the cellular necrosis model are estimated based on observed results of a preliminary ablation procedure. Planning of the ablation procedure is then performed using the personalized bio-heat equation and the cellular necrosis model. The model can be subsequently refined as more ablation observations are obtained.
