scan range but will use the optimal central frequency that
was identified by the Exablate system.
When the scan ends, the new scanned MR series will appear
in the 3

Exablate workstation image strip.
◼ Cancel - click this button to exit the pop-up message back to
the Planning stage screen, without scanning additional
planning series.
Click this button to load the manually scanned additional
planning series from the MRI to the Exablate workstation (select

image strip.
6.5.7. Loading Prior Exams (Optional)
The Exablate workstation enables to load diagnostic MR images, acquired from a previous (pre-
treatment) session, to aid in defining the region of treatment.
1. Press this button to open the loading form.
2. Press this button; the system will prompt the user to select an MR exam from the MR.
3. The MR exam information appears in the Prior Exam frame. Verify that the correct images are used.
4. Press this button to upload and display the selected images in the strips.
6.6. Acquisition of Baseline Anatomy Scans
In case MR Planning images were not acquired automatically by the Exablate workstation (by the Scan
Prescribed Volume button), you should manually initiate the Baseline Anatomy scans (acquired
automatically as a set of Axial and Sagittal series) immediately after loading the Planning images.
The Axial Baseline Anatomy scan should ideally be acquired as close as possible to the Axial Planning images,
to avoid any movements between the two scans.
