6.5.1. User Interface Elements
During the procedure of acquiring, reformatting and loading MR Planning images, the following elements
are used:
Prescribed
Volume Scan
Click this button to prescribe and run the Axial Planning images
scan, according to the range defined by the Scanning Range
lines. This scan will use the optimal central frequency that was
identified by the system.
When the scan ends, the new scanned MR series will appear in
the upper Exablate workstation image strip.
The system will automatically produce Sagittal and Coronal
series by reformatting the scanned Axial series.
The Sagittal and Coronal reformatted series will appear in the
2
nd
and 3
rd
image strips.
Note
Following the Axial Planning series scan, the system will
automatically initiate the Baseline Anatomy Axial and Sagittal
scans (see Section 6.6).
Archive
Click this button to open the images Loading Form (“Archive”).
The following button appears in the images loading form.
Load
Click this button to load the series that appear in the selected
series frame to the strips on the screen.
6.5.2. Define the Scanning Range
After approving Positioning, two cyan lines appear on the Sagittal Positioning image, representing the
Scanning range (From-To) of Planning images which will be executed automatically by the Exablate
workstation. The lines are perpendicular to the transducer axis (see Figure 6-4).
NOTE:
◼ The range of Planning images should cover the entire prostate and include proper
margins.
◼ It is recommended to define the minimal range required to fulfill the clinical needs,
to minimize the expected scanning duration.
