If needed, pull the Table Top out and reposition the patient. Push the Table Top back in and
scan the survey and bubble/scar verification scans again.
WARNING
The system displays the message "Push Table Top into Place and Check Patient
Positioning" if the Table Top is not locked in position. Carefully verify that the Table Top is
properly locked in its intended position. Failure to detect unintended Table Top movement
may eventually lead to misplaced heating and tissue damage.
6.4. Scanning the planning images
WARNING
Pay attention to patient orientation selections in MR and Sonalleve consoles. Failure to do
so may result in heating of wrong location and painful experience or injury.
NOTICE
To prevent unexpected changes in image quality, always test all protocol changes that may affect
image quality before using them.
1.
Scan the planning image set.
2.
Position the slices over the treatment area as instructed in the Application Guide.
3.
When ready, send the images to the Sonalleve console using Autopush or DICOM network
export. Select Patient → Administration, select the images and click Export.
6.5. Preparing the monitor scan
WARNING
If you are using REST slabs, position them outside the intended heating volume so that they
do not saturate the signal from structures (near or far field) intended for temperature
monitoring.
