In case the measured dose does not cover the entire ROT, you can enter a special mode that will attempt
to treat these regions that did not heat sufficiently in the last sonication.
Under-heated regions are defined as regions within the ROT that were originally covered
with predicted dose (by the planner) but where not covered by the auxiliary measured
dose. Noisy regions are excluded.

1. While in the Thermal Evaluation screen, click this button and then Continue to return
to the Treatment Main Screen while in the Repeat Under-Heated Regions Mode.
2. The system calculates (in the background) an Effective Heating Map (EHM) for the previously
sonicated slice, by comparing between the predicted heating map and the actual measured heating
map.
3. Back in the Treatment Main Screen, the system identifies the Under-Heated Regions on the last
sonicated Axial slice (from the Current Anatomy strip).
4. The Under-Heated Regions are marked on the Axial Current Anatomy image with a brown-colored
polygon:
