Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are methods for displaying guidance for navigating an ablation probe to at least one ablation target within a patient's body comprising tracking the location of the ablation probe inside the patient's body while the ablation probe is navigated, displaying the position of the ablation probe on real-time ultrasound images, iteratively updating the displayed position of the ablation probe as the location of the ablation probe is tracked while the ablation probe is navigated inside the patient's body, and displaying guidance for ablating the at least one target when the ablation probe is navigated proximate to the at least one target.
