Zusammenfassung:A system (30) for selectively triggering an energy activated therapy agent. The system includes a member to which a device (172) for emitting energy is attached. One or more navigation markers (166) are also attached to the member. The position of the navigation markers is tracked to provide an indication of the position of the energy emitting device relative to the target tissue. When the energy emitting device is adjacent the target tissue, it is actuated. Système (30) permettant de déclencher sélectivement un agent thérapeutique activé par de l'énergie. Le système comprend un élément auquel est fixé un dispositif (172) émetteur d'énergie. Un ou plusieurs marqueurs de navigation (166) sont également fixés à l'élément. La position des marqueurs de navigation est suivie et donne une indication de la position du dispositif émetteur d'énergie par rapport au tissu cible. Lorsque le dispositif émetteur d'énergie est adjacent au tissu cible, il est alors activé.
