NeuroBlate® System Instructions for Use
80469 Rev D – Nov 16, 2018
- 120 -
Special Instruction for all GE MRI’s:
• Acquire the
Calibration Scan
from the Monteris protocol list on MR user interface to
enable ASSET.
o
Use the default scan parameters
o
Prescribe enough axial slices to cover the entire field of view to be imaged during
thermometry (e.g., 50 slices x 6 mm slice thickness = 30 cm of coverage).
Note: If any of the imaging protocols are setup using the “Zoom” setting (options are
either Zoom or Wide), it is recommended to switch and save the protocol set to “Wide”.
The “Zoom” setting can be an issue when using the AtamA as the patient’s head is
positioned higher in the bore and thus farther out of the magnet isocenter. When the
probe is a certain distance beyond isocenter, the zoom setting will prevent the scan
sequence from being started. The error message displayed does not make it clear that
the “Zoom” setting is the issue.
Special Instruction for Philips MRI regarding LAN connectivity
Before real time data transfer begins, the Philips MRI must be disconnected from the PACS or
Hospital network and directly connected to the NeuroBlate Main PC forming a direct peer-to-
peer network connection. In this case, both the NeuroBlate system and the Philips MRI will be
disconnected from the hospital PACS network during treatment monitoring. The MRI
connection to the PACS network can be restored following treatment monitoring once real time
data transfer is no longer necessary. This step will not disrupt normal DICOM data transfer
between the MRI and NeuroBlate. There is no special configuration of the Philips MR software
is required to enable real time data transfer. Any configuration required is completed during
installation of the NeuroBlate system and no further software configuration is needed prior to
any case.
