Abstract
Methods and systems for treating tissue that employ a radiometer for measurement and/or control are provided. For example, methods and systems are provided for radiometrically measuring temperature, such as by calculating temperature based on signal(s) from a radiometer, thereby providing useful information about tissue temperature at depth, even during an optional irrigated procedure.
