Abstract: A system for visualizing and guiding a surgical device having a first imaging device of a first type and has a first image output. The first imaging device is positioned to image an area being subject to surgery. A second imaging device of a second type has a second image output. The second imaging device is positioned to image an area being subject to surgery. A computer is coupled to receive the first and second image outputs and a computer software program, resident in the computer receives and displays information received from the surgical device and/or for guiding the operation of the surgical device and for generating a graphic user interface including selectable menu and submenu items. The surgical device is coupled to the computer.

Abstract: The inventive ablation element comprises an elongated cannula having a proximal end and a distal end. The cannula defines an internal lumen within the cannula and a cannula axis. A plurality of conductors contained within the lumen, each of the conductors has a proximal end proximate the proximal end of the cannula, and a distal end proximate the distal end of the cannula. A plurality of ablation stylets each has a proximal end and a distal end, and each coupled at the respective proximal end of the stylet to the distal end of a respective conductor, the stylets comprise a deflectable material, the conductors together with their respective stylets being mounted for axial movement. A trocar point defined proximate the distal end of the cannula.
