Zusammenfassung: | A tissue treatment system and method of using the tissue treatment system determines a size of a body lumen, or a neuromodulation parameter corresponding to the size of the body lumen. The tissue treatment system fills a balloon with a fluid when the balloon is within a body lumen. A fluid parameter of the fluid is detected over a period of time. A parameter curve of the fluid parameter is determined. The parameter curve includes the fluid parameter versus an independent variable over the period of time. The parameter curve includes inflections that correspond to changes in the fluid parameter. Based on the inflections, the system can determine the body lumen size or the neuromodulation parameter. Other embodiments are also described and claimed. |
