7. TREATMENT STAGE
7.1. Overview
Treatment Stage is the stage where the actual treatment is performed. If needed, the user can change the
plan and the sonication parameters throughout the treatment.
This stage enables the operator to:
1. Verify that the location of the thermal focal point is in the selected target and that the sonication
intensity levels deliver the expected results.
2. Adjust the Spot’s Parameters and Thermal scan parameters.
3. Automatically Plan Macro-Spots based on the defined ROT and the selected treatment protocol
while taking into consideration the LEDR’s limitations.
4. Perform therapeutic Treatment Sonications.
Treatment Stage includes two screens which cover the three phases within the sonication cycle:
1. Treatment Stage Main Screen: This screen (see Figure 7-1) enables the user to conduct the Pre-
Sonication phase and provides the means to prepare and plan the spot prior to the actual delivery
of energy.
2. Thermal Evaluation Screen: This screen (see Figure 7-4) enables the user to perform the Sonication
& Post Sonication phases. During the sonication time, the system displays the temperature maps
and the magnitude images acquired in real time. When the act of applying the energy has been
completed, the system provides a set of tools to perform retrospective analysis and adjustments, as
necessary.
