Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are provided herein for providing treatment plan in which a position of a heat source and a treatment order are optimized.An example treatment support apparatus includes a processor and a storage device connected to the processor. The storage device hold image information of tissue in a living body of a treatment target. The processor may extract a blood vessel structure of the inside of the living body from the image information, calculate positions of one or more heat sources for thermal treatment on a treatment scheduled region including at least a part of the extracted blood vessel structure on the basis of the extracted blood vessel structure, and output data for displaying an image including the calculated positions of the one or more heat sources.
