Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for electroporation ablation therapy are disclosed. An apparatus may be configured to activate a field generator to generate an electric or magnetic field such that signals are received by a receiver coupled to an ablation device disposed adjacent to a tissue surface. Processed data associated with the signals may be obtained. A position and an orientation of the ablation device may be determined based on the processed data. An expected ablation zone of the ablation device in the tissue surface may be determined based on the position and the orientation of the ablation device. A map of the tissue surface and a visual representation of the expected ablation zone disposed in the map of the tissue surface may be displayed.
