6.7.2. Draw the Rectal Wall
The rectal wall is a mandatory drawing; the Exablate workstation will not allow you to proceed to Treatment
stage prior to drawing it.
The Exablate workstation uses the rectal wall drawing when planning the sonications to ensure that no
thermal dose reaches it. The system will warn you if you add or drag a sonication so that it’s predicted dose
is less than 1mm away from the rectal wall drawing.
Always draw the rectal wall at the interface between the rectal wall and the prostate (NOT at the interface
between the rectum and the balloon, see Figure 6-7).
