1. A method of estimating joint effectiveness of a plurality of tissue-ablating operations, the method comprising:
receiving data indicative of parameters of the plurality of tissue-ablating operations, the data including:
data indicative of distance between sub-lesions formed by the tissue-ablating operations, and
data indicative of an interval of time between the tissue-ablating operations;
estimating, based on the received data and using computer circuitry, the joint effectiveness of the plurality of tissue-ablating operations; and
displaying an indication of at least one of:
the estimated joint effectiveness, and
an adjustment to further tissue-ablating operations, the adjustment being determined according to the estimated joint effectiveness.
