sound changes in the nearby area of the rectal wall.
Checking the effectiveness of treatment
Tissue Changing Monitoring (TCM) allows you to visually
monitor the process of prostate treatment. If certain tissues
have not been heated enough to destroy them, then the
imaging will be done with TCM color coding. This allows this
part to be processed in real time to confirm that the entire
prostate has been treated. TCM calculates the changes that
are taking place and displays them on the screen. The radio
frequency signal is sent to the treatment site before the HIFU
procedure, then another signal is sent after the HIFU to the
same site. TCM detects tissue changes based on real-time
comparison of radio frequency (RF) ultrasound echoes at
each treatment site.
A special neurovascular bundle detector allows identifying
blood vessels and nerves, as well as instantly integrating
them into the image on the screen (Fig. 5). This makes it
possible to automatically adjust the therapeutic plan for the
procedure, which avoids damage to the neurovascular
bundles - which is especially important for maintaining
erectile function.

The safety function built into the Sonablate®-500 device
allows you to prevent errors and even interrupt the
procedure if any of the parameters go beyond the safe limits.
The rectal wall is cooled to 16-200 C to prevent tissue
damage. During the entire procedure, the position of the
sensor relative to the rectal wall is constantly monitored.

adjust the degree of exposure in each of the conditional
zones that were formed during the marking before
performing the ablation. The HIFU signal precisely and
precisely affects the prostate tissue in different zones and
allows you to accurately determine the treatment area in
relation to the borders of the prostate or the external
sphincter of the urinary bladder. After the completion of the
