PLANNING STAGE
Manual Part Number
6.3. Baseline Thermometry
Baseline Thermometry establishes the prostate temperature profile before the treatment sonications are
executed. The Baseline Thermometry maps serve as baseline for the thermometry performed during
sonications, and as a baseline for Macro spots planning and prediction.
6.4. Positioning Verification
Under the Positioning procedure, the following elements are used:
Click this button to perform a scan on the MR that will
automatically track the transducer’s current location, then scan
Sagittal and Axial Positioning images and load them in the strips.
Click this button to perform a scan on the MR to automatically
detect an optimized MR Central Frequency value, to minimize
imaging frequency shifts.
In addition, the system will automatically acquire a Bubble
Detection strip.
Click this button only once patient and probe positioning are
final, and once both Positioning and Calibration scans were
performed and validated.
The system will initiate a Motion Test to verify that the probe
motion is unobstructed.
