Abstract
A system is provided for identifying the sufficiency of lesions formed during a tissue ablation procedure. The system captures live and still images from the surgical site and provides composite imaging to the operator. Through the use of the system, the aiming light used to direct ablative energy is captured on the still images and used to indicate locations in a surgical site where energy has been directed. Through the use of processing modules, the system can analyze the lesions and determine the sufficiency thereof.
