13. If required, use this tool to draw Measurement Polygons to evaluate the temperature rise.
14. Analyze the results and compare the size of the obtained (measured) dose with the planned
(predicted) dose.
15. If they do not match, there are several actions to select from:
◼ Click this button and perform a Dose Adjust (refer to Section 7.4.4).
◼ Click this button and then Continue to repeat the exact same sonication again (on the
same slice).
◼ Click this button (if not already selected) and then Continue to enter Repeat Under-
Heated Regions Mode (see Section 7.4.6).
◼ If the temperature map still contains an erroneous thermal dose (caused by
residual artifacts or noise), click to define which regions should be considered as
dosed regions. See Section 7.3.2).

16. If not done yet, click Continue to accept the Thermal outcome and return to the
Treatment Main Screen (see Figure 7-1).
17. System will detect and notify about movements on the next slice, according to the Treatment
Direction defined in the Treatment Protocol.
18. If required, enter Deformation Mode to update the treatment plan on the Axial Current Anatomy
strip (refer to Section 7.2.10).
19. Repeat the procedure starting at Step 1. For efficacy considerations, it is recommended to perform
Macro-spots slice-by-slice so that there is a sufficient overlay between them.
7.4.6. Repeat Under-Heated Regions (Optional)
While in Thermal Evaluation (see Figure 7-4), carefully review and analyze the results and compare the size
of the obtained (measured) dose with the planned (predicted) dose.
