1. A system for treating uterine anatomy, the system comprising:
a radiofrequency ablation device comprising a needle array comprising multiple needles, wherein the needle array is deployable into a uterine fibroid;
a radiofrequency generator; and
a processing unit programmed to:
display, on a screen, a real-time image of the uterine anatomy including a uterine fibroid to be treated;
overlay, onto the real-time image, a projected path of the radiofrequency ablation device;
overlay, onto the real-time image, a projected treatment boundary based on a first, actual position of the needle array prior to deployment of the needle array into the uterine fibroid;
recalculate the projected treatment boundary based on a second, actual position of the needle array after deployment of the needle array into the uterine fibroid;
overlay, onto the real-time image, the recalculated projected treatment boundary; and
deliver radiofrequency energy from the radiofrequency generator through the needle array to treat the uterine fibroid after recalculating the projected treatment boundary and with at least a portion of the uterine fibroid positioned within the recalculated projected treatment boundary on the real-time image.
