15. On the water system display, press on +60cc button and then on Start Circulation.
System will alert when pressure in the balloon exceeds 200mmHg. In such a case of over-
pressure in the balloon, drain water from it to reduce the pressure on the rectal wall.

16. Place the anterior part of the imaging coil above the prostate area (aligned with the posterior part) and
strap it to the table.
17. Strap the patients’ legs in the leg holders. Verify proper padding of the leg holders throughout entire
treatment (i.e., pads are intact and fully covering the holders, no pressure points on patient’s legs, etc.).
18. On the Motion Unit controller, press Enable + Test to verify that the probe motion is not obstructed. If
the Motion Test finishes successfully, a green LED will light up next to the Test button. If it fails, the LED
will light in orange. In this case, clear any obstructing elements.
19. Set a landmark on the estimated location of the prostate and insert the table into the MR bore. Ensure
that nothing hinders the movement of the table mechanism as it goes in and out of the scanner.
Proper landmark allows the Exablate system to take trackers readings correctly. It also
assures high imaging signal in the targeted area.
[N-10]
Pay attention to verify that no air has entered the balloon. Air bubbles inside the balloon
may reduce target zone temperatures, cause defocusing and misalignment of the spot
and/or severely damage system components.
