WARNING The Stepper must be cleaned and disinfected before each use. Cleaning the Stepper is an essential step before effective disinfection. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using disinfectants. CAUTION Do not break down the Stepper assembly more than specified in the provided procedure: “Disassemble the Stepper” on page 56.
The following is a list of equipment and/or supplies needed for the proper cleaning and disinfection of the Stepper. • Soft bristle brush • ¾-inch cylindrical soft-bristle brush • 1.25-inch cylindrical soft-bristle brush • Compatible neutral or near-neutral pH detergent such as ENZOL ® Enzymatic Detergent from Johnson and Johnson or Enzyclean II LS from Micro Scientific • Compatible intermediate level disinfectant such as Sani-Cloth ® Prime Wipes and Sani-Prime ™ spray from PDI • Dry, lint-free cloths • Compressed air system
As soon as possible after a patient procedure, remove the ultrasound transmission gel, blood and other contaminates from the Stepper. 1. Place the Stepper under running potable water allowing the flowing water to remove debris. 2. Using a soft cloth moistened with potable water, wipe away any remaining debris. 3. Using a soft-bristle brush, remove debris from all crevices.
After removal of all visible debris during initial cleaning, disassemble the Stepper for more detailed cleaning and disinfection. 1. Slide the front end out of the rack-and-pinon assembly. There are retaining grooves on the end of both sliding tubes, which catch on a spring and ball mechanism and help prevent accidental removal of the front end. However, with a little additional force, the front end can be removed from the rack-and-pinon assembly. 2. Locate and disengage the white release pin, as indicated by the blue highlight in the picture. To disengage, pull down on the release pin and rotate it 90 degrees. This prevents the release pin from springing back into place. 3. After the release pin is disengaged, slide the handle away from the rack-and-pinion assembly.
Remove the EM tracker probe holder from the rack-and-pinion assembly by sliding the probe holder assembly out of the rack-and-pinion assembly.

Use a soft-bristle brush to clean the left and right side threaded thumb screw holes.
With the front end assembly still immersed in the detergent water, use a soft-bristle brush to clean inside both tubes. Also, rotate each of the two control levers vigorously multiple times to loosen any potentially trapped debris, as illustrated in the following image sequence: 6. While still immersed in detergent water, clean the indicated areas (blue rectangles) around the bolt heads and lever joint crevices with a soft-bristle brush. During this cleaning, rotate the control levers (blue highlight) to ensure that all crevice areas are properly cleaned. 7. While still immersed in detergent water, thoroughly clean indicated areas with a soft cloth and soft-bristle brush. CAUTION Areas, indicated blue in images of this procedure, must be clean and free of all debris to ensure proper tracking of the grid plate. 8. Remove the front end assembly from the detergent water and observe the color of the liquid: ⇨ Dripping from the tubes while holding the plastic side up ⇨ Dripping from the lever joint crevices while holding the assembly tube side up or to the side. NOTICE Compressed air may be blown through the open ends of the tubes while observing the color of the dripping liquid. 10. If the dripping liquid’s color does not match the detergent water’s color, immerse the front end assembly in the detergent water and repeat the process of rotating the levers with cleaning as described in the steps above. Follow detergent manufacturer’s recommendations for the duration of the rinse time. 11. Immerse assembly in clean rinse water (no detergent). While submerged, rotate the frontend control levers. Ensure that all surfaces are exposed to the rinse water. Follow detergent manufacturer’s recommendations for the duration of the rinse time. 12. Finish rinsing under running water. While under the running water, rotate the front-end control levers. Ensure that all surfaces are exposed to the running rinse water. 13. Exterior surfaces may be dried using a soft lint-free cloth. However, the front end assembly must be hung so that gravity will drain the tubes and the interior of the tubes can air dry.
1. Immerse the probe holder assembly in detergent water. 2. Thoroughly clean all surfaces with a soft cloth and soft-bristle brush. 3. Open the probe clamp, indicated as blue area in the following image, and check for debris. CAUTION The interior areas of the probe clamp must be free of debris to ensure proper tracking. The EM sensor holder, which is located on the probe holder (and highlighted in the following image), must be cleaned and free of debris to ensure proper tracking of the probe. Immerse assembly in detergent water and thoroughly clean indicated areas with a soft cloth and soft-bristle brush. 4. Immerse assembly in clean water (no detergent), so that all surfaces are exposed to the rinse water. Follow detergent manufacturer’s recommendations for the duration of the rinse time. 5. Finish rinsing under running water, so that all surfaces are exposed to the running rinse water. 6. Exterior surfaces may be dried using a soft lint free cloth. However, the probe holder assembly must be hung so that gravity will drain the tubes and the interior of the tubes can air dry.
1. Immerse the handle in detergent water. 2. Thoroughly clean all surfaces with a soft cloth and soft-bristle brush. 3. Use a 1.25-inch cylindrical soft-brittle brush to clean the interior of the handle. 4. Immerse assembly in clean water (no detergent), so that all surfaces are exposed to the rinse water. Follow detergent manufacturer’s recommendations for the duration of the rinse time. 5. Finish rinsing under running water, so that all surfaces are exposed to the running rinse water. 6. The handle may be dried using a soft lint free cloth or may be air dried.
Before performing this procedure, read the warnings and cautions in “Precautions for cleaning the Stepper” on page 54. See also the general precautions given in “Cleaning and disinfecting UroNav” on page 47. Intermediate level disinfection of the Stepper uses the spray and wiping method with an intermediate level disinfectant. After all Stepper subassemblies are clean and dry per the detailed cleaning steps described above, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations for use of the wipes and spray. NOTICE Ensure that the thumb screws removed during the Stepper front-end assembly cleaning are included. 1. For surfaces inaccessible with the wipes, spray with a disinfectant spray such as Sani- Prime ™ spray (PDI). 2. Wipe all Stepper part surfaces with disinfectant wipes such as Sani-Cloth ® Prime wipes (PDI). 3. Make adjustments to the carriage position and the grid-plate holder so that all surfaces have been wiped or sprayed. 4. Do not let the Stepper parts remain wet longer than the minimum time needed for intermediate level of disinfection. 5. After the minimum contact time of the disinfectant expires, dry using a soft lint free cloth. Allow the surfaces inaccessible to the drying cloth to air dry.
After intermediate disinfection, collect all the pieces of the Stepper and reassemble in accordance with the following steps: 1. Reinstall the probe holder assembly by sliding it into the appropriate hole on the rack-andpinion assembly. 2. Reattach the handle, by sliding it back on to the rack-and-pinion assembly. 3. After the handle is installed, ensure the release pin is back into its fully engaged position. 4. First, identify the left side and right side thumb screws: the left side thumb screw is marked with II and the right side thumb screw is marked with I.
Then, properly align the screws and reinstall the front-end assembly thumb screws by turning the left side thumb screw clockwise and the right side thumb screw counterclockwise. Ensure the markings on the thumb screws match those on the front-end assembly. Failure to do so may damage the threads in this assembly. Reinsert the front-end assembly into the rack-and-pinion assembly. There is a spring and ball mechanism that will catch as the front end is first installed. With a little additional force, the front-end assembly can be pushed back into the rack-and-pinon assembly.
After the Stepper is fully assembled, a visual inspection should be done to ensure no damage has occurred. The inspection should include, but not be limited to, examination for cracks or other defects. A functional test should be performed by completing the following steps: 1. Inspect the handle and probe holder. They should rotate freely. There should be no sticking or jamming during the rotation. 2. Inspect the front-end assembly. It should slide freely in and out of the rack-and-pinion assembly. There should be no sticking or jamming over the full range of movement. After the full range of motion is checked, slide the front-end assembly into its fully engaged position. 3. Using the carriage knobs, move the carriage to its full back position and then to its full forward position. Move the carriage to a mid-range position. The carriage should move with clicking detents as the carriage knobs are turned. Yet, the carriage should move without undue force or jamming. 4. Ensure that the grid-plate holder adjustments are also operating without sticking or jamming. These provided instructions have been validated by the manufacturer of the medical device as being capable of preparing a medical device for re-use. It remains the responsibility of the processor to ensure that the reprocessing as actually performed (by using equipment, materials, and personnel in the reprocessing facility) achieves the desired result. This normally requires validation and routine monitoring of the process.
Cleaning and disinfecting the Stepper Arm and Stepper Stand Clean and disinfect the Stepper Arm and Stepper Stand before first use and immediately after each use to protect patients and personnel from a variety of pathogens. Follow the instructions provided below to prepare the Stepper Arm and Stepper Stand for use: 1. The central handle of the articulated arm must be tightened for cleaning and disinfection, as shown in the following image: 2. Clean all parts of the Stepper Arm and Stepper Stand with neutral or near neutral pH detergent, such as ENZOL ® Enzymatic Detergent (Johnson & Johnson) or Enzyclean II LS (Micro Scientific). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations for concentration, temperature, and contact time of the detergent. 3. With the prepared detergent solution, wet a lint-free cloth. Squeeze out excess liquid. 4. Use the damp cloth to wipe off all parts. Be sure to wipe off each part for the minimum contact time given by manufacturer of the detergent until all visible soil is removed. 5. After all Stepper Arm and Stepper Stand parts are clean, wet a clean lint-free cloth with potable water and thoroughly wipe off all of the parts again to remove cleaning residue. 6. After removing all cleaning residue, thoroughly dry the Stepper Arm and Stepper Stand parts with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. 7. Visually inspect the Stepper Arm and Stepper Stand in a well-lit area to confirm the absence of any soil or cleaning residue. 8. If you see any soil or cleaning residue, repeat the previous steps using fresh cloths until you see no soil or cleaning residue. 9. After everything is dry, wipe all of the surfaces with an intermediate level disinfection wipe; such as, Super Sani-Cloth ® , Sani-Cloth Prime ® , or Sani-Cloth ® AF3 wipes—all from PDI. Be sure to wipe all surfaces for the minimum contact time given by manufacturer of the disinfectant. 10. Before reuse, ensure the Stepper Arm and Stepper Stand are completely dry; otherwise, wipe dry with a lint-free cloth.
As part of routine maintenance on your UroNav, the system air filters should be inspected weekly and cleaned as needed. If you decide to clean the air filter with soap and water, you may want to install a spare filter while the other filter is drying. To order additional air filters, contact your local Philips representative. Before performing any system maintenance or cleaning, always turn off the system and disconnect it from the AC Mains power source. CAUTION Only install fully dry air filters to prevent damage to the system. Do not turn on the power before the filters are installed. To inspect and clean the system air filters: 1. Remove both air filter covers on the UroNav housing. 2. Pull the air filters out. 3. Inspect the filters. Depending on the condition of the air filter, vacuum or rinse the filter with water to clean it. If the filter is worn out or cannot be cleaned, replace it with a spare. 4. Reinstall the filters and filter covers into place.
The UroNav is comprised of a mobile cart with the mounted UroNav computer (CPC) and monitor as depicted in the following image: The UroNav cart includes a keyboard tray and horizontal work surface for mouse operation. A USB interface HID 3-pedal foot switch — shown below — can be used to duplicate specific onscreen mouse functions for operator convenience. The 3-pedal foot switch is tethered to the UroNav with a 3m USB cable, plugged into either of the front or rear panel USB ports on the UroNav. The front USB port is marked in the following image: This allows the operator the freedom to position the foot pedal conveniently within reach, and allows hands-free operation for the SWEEP, FREEZE, and SCREEN CAPTURE functions. In the current configuration of this system, an EM sensor, the complete sensor and cable assembly referred to as the EM Tracker, is attached to the handle of a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) probe by insertion into a TRUS adapter clip (“probe holder”). Alternatively, the EM sensor can be attached to the Stepper— shown below — for a transperineal procedure. The EM sensor, probe holder, and TRUS probe are all covered by a sterile transducer cover supplied by a third party. The EM tracker is a reusable device with a requirement for intermediate-level disinfection, and the probe holder is a single-use disposable device with a requirement for cleaning prior to use. The following image shows the stepper table rail mount: The EM sensor is used in conjunction with the field generator for probe position sensing during the ultrasound sweep. The EM sensors detect probe position by their orientation in the EM field created by the field generator. The following image shows the field generator attached to the articulating arm: EM sensor and field generator signals are processed to determine and display an image of the relative position of the probe. The UroNav software application provides the operator interface and data display functions for the prostate workflows. The prostrate workflows fuse a trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS) with pre-procedure magnetic resonance (MR) images. This consists of motion compensation, deflection compensation as well as semi-automatic image-based registration to facilitate accurate navigation within the prostate gland. UroNav accepts HDMI ultrasound image video formats and connections. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the device. All service is performed by the manufacturer.
Video recording of the workflow is captured in Full-Screen mode, which is configurable from the System Configuration dialog's Media Settings tab: 1 2 1 Resolution 2 Auto record mode Options for Auto record mode include: • On - Select to enable automatic video recording mode. • Skip Setup screen - Select the checkbox to skip the recording of "Set-up Instructions for Tracking" screen. • Pause video automatically if system idle time exceeds (seconds) - Lists system idle time options to automatically pause video recording. Multiple recordings can be saved per workflow. • Off - Select to enable manual video recording mode. NOTICE The system will prompt the user for an automatic restart to save the selected setting.
In the System Configuration dialog, the Language tab may be used to set the language of the user interface.
In the System Configuration dialog, the License tab displays a list of features and expiration dates for the current system license.
In the System Configuration dialog, the Service tab displays the Service Equipment ID for the system. This information is used by Service users only. Additionally, the contact information for the manufacturer may also be viewed.
1. Call Philips Customer Service. 2. When directed, click System Setup to open the System Configuration dialog. 3. Click the Service tab. 4. Select Start Support Session. From the Service tab, UroNav also enables the backup of both patient and configuration data for the purpose of both migration and future restoration. The Backup operation is considered a disaster recovery plan and carried out by a Philips service representative. Backed-up patient data can only be restored by a Philips service representative.
► Click System Setup to open the System Configuration dialog. ► Click the Service tab. ► Select Start Backup to open Backup Settings.
A backup location, either USB or network, must be provided before the backup can be executed —click the Refresh icon (shown in previous image) to display newly connected devices—after which, the contents are stored at the root of the selected drive. The created folder is provided with a unique name based on the date and time of the operation. After the backup operation completes successfully, the USB will be automatically disconnected from UroNav.
When using video connection to capture ultrasound images, the incoming images need to be calibrated to facilitate accurate size measurements and ensuring the availability of imaging planes and depths required for the different workflows. Ultrasound video calibration is an important service feature to ensure that all required imaging planes are calibrated and that the UroNav plane detection mechanism is functional. Properly calibrated imaging depths will ensure that UroNav handles size computations correctly whenever the computations are based on the ultrasound images. This concerns aspects like ROI volumes, line measurements, and displays of scales. A sub-optimal video calibration can be caused by a misalignment between the actual and expected video image due to individual differences between ultrasound systems (or through user error such as non-aligned depths). Ultrasound system settings must be properly configured by a Philips support team member before Video Calibration. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the proper ultrasound settings are utilized for UroNav. For more information, see “Required ultrasound system settings for transrectal workflows” on page 193 and “Required ultrasound system settings for transperineal workflows” on page 231. Any change to the pre-calibrated ultrasound system, such as a software upgrade, will require UroNav video calibration to be repeated. When connecting a new ultrasound system or probe combination to the UroNav system that has not been calibrated, the notice Video Calibration Required will appear on the UroNav Setup screen. Any change to the ultrasound system and probe combination will require UroNav video calibration to be repeated.
Although video calibration should be carried out by a trained Philips support team, it is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that the (pre-calibrated) video calibration is correct for the specific ultrasound system in use. This can lead to a misinterpretation of the scale of the incoming image, leading to inaccurate volume calculations and overall misrepresentations of the patient’s anatomy. This may result in potential misalignment of biopsy core overlays or (user-indicated) needle path overlays. Contact Philips customer support for assistance.
Multiple “different” US devices can be supported, with the software saving separate calibrations for each device. However, multiple “like” devices (such as two Philips Epiq Ultrasound units) cannot have separate calibrations saved. Therefore, customers must be sure to use the video-calibrated US system with their UroNav. Customers may want to add a label to that specific Ultrasound.

UroNav supports importing of patient studies from various data sources. It can be configured to directly import studies from DynaCAD. Other data sources are USB, Disk or PACS, if so configured. Import from DynaCAD or PACS will require a network connection. If configured, data can be imported securely from DynaCAD or PACS. When selecting a data folder or specific patient study for import, UroNav will find and import the relevant data and store it on the hard disk. This data can subsequently be used to start a workflow on UroNav. Do not attempt to export studies from DynaCAD to a UroNav system, as the UroNav connectivity may be limited (for example, due to being switched off or unplugged). To import a patient study: 1. Click Import on the UroNav Home screen. 2. Select the data source from the Import from menu. UroNav will display the list of available patients in the menu on the right. 3. Select from the list the patient name that you want to import. 4. Wait for the import to complete and close the dialog. The patient study is now available in the All patients list. If the imported patient study from DynaCAD includes a UroNav plan, the associated device configuration will be saved to UroNav. The annotations defined therein can be selected as part of an Advanced Annotation workflow. If a plan is imported that contains a newer version of a
device configuration that was already saved to UroNav, its parameters shall be updated. The saved device configurations can be reviewed in the Annotation Editor. See “Annotation Editor” on page 107 for more details.
An Ultrasound Only patient study may be created without associated MR data by clicking the New Patient tab, as shown in the following image:

The following function allows the user to adjust for variances in the apex location of an end-fire ultrasound transducer’s image plane. This variance is due to mechanical tolerances associated with the creation of the ultrasound transducer, the rendering of the image plane, and the measurement of the EM location. The following illustration shows how this variance may present to the user after rotating the probe 180° from the original sweep orientation. Depending on the tolerances listed above, an adjustment may or may not be deemed necessary by the clinician. NOTICE Initial registration should be performed prior to applying the rotational adjustment. The following steps are used to perform this adjustment when the user wants to fine-tune the initial registration while on the Navigation Screen. After selecting the Rotational Adjustment icon in the live ultrasound viewport, rotate the TRUS probe 180± 5° from the original sweep orientation used for volume acquisition and segmentation.
When the guide ring indicates you are in the proper orientation, the dialog changes to “Step 2”. 3. Select Freeze via the button on the rotational adjustment control. Clicking Freeze again will return the procedure to live action and any adjustments made during the freeze will be cleared. 4. On the bottom panel (MR view), use the Pan function to adjust the registration to align with the U/S volume in the top panel. 5. Click Apply. The volumes should now be in alignment when the TRUS probe is rotated in either orientation. Only one rotational adjustment can be applied at any given time.
1. Select the Rotational Adjustment viewport icon. 2. Select Apply again.
For transrectal procedures, the following steps apply to perform biopsies: 1. Ensure the EM tracker(s) display is green, indicating it is within range of EM field range. 2. Ensure the depth setting on UroNav matches the setting on the ultrasound system in both planes for a multi-plane probe. 3. Examine the Live Ultrasound viewport and bottom MR and U/S Live viewport for proper alignment throughout the procedure. NOTICE The 1cm on-screen grid lines are also convenient reference marks for authenticating alignment. NOTICE If manual adjustments do not successfully align the U/S with the MRI, it may be necessary to go back to the Sweep and Segmentation screen, repeat the sweep and replicate the alignment/registration steps. 4. Repeat step 3 as often as necessary throughout the procedure. 5. Select the target to be viewed or biopsied from the Target Selection list. 6. Use the color-coded guidance bars located on the right side of each viewport to locate the target. The length of the guidance bars indicates the distance away from the selected target. Navigation is easily achieved first by moving the transducer in one direction, shrinking the colored bars to get the target into view, then moving perpendicularly to align the bull’s-eye target with the biopsy guide line as shown below. It is helpful to have the biopsy needle slightly inserted within the needle guide while honing in on target regions. The following images are examples showing the probe positions:
Ensure the biopsy guide line intersects the pre-selected target and advance the needle, monitoring the needle trajectory and insertion line continuously to ensure safety and proper guidance. 8. When the biopsy sample is taken: ⇨ Select Freeze or press the Freeze foot pedal to temporarily interrupt real-time cine viewing. Scroll through the U/S images using the mouse wheel or the cine scroll slider bar on the right side of the viewport to locate the point in time where the distal tip of the biopsy needle is visualized. ⇨ Hover the mouse cursor over the biopsy guide line (color changes to green) and use the mouse wheel or left mouse button to place the line marker to the distal tip of the biopsy needle. Press the ADD button from the Biopsies list menu to record this location and associate it with the current target. A screen capture will be acquired and a time stamp will be recorded and displayed, as shown in the following image: When using an end-fire probe, the prostate model in the 3D viewport will automatically adjust to a perspective directly orthogonal to the orientation of the imaging plane.
When the U/S Cine image is active, the middle mouse wheel has two functions. When the mouse cursor hovers over the biopsy needle guideline, it changes to green (active), which allows the user to use the mouse wheel to mark the distal tip of the biopsy needle. When the mouse cursor is away from the guide line (color turns magenta), the mouse wheel scrolls through the cine images. When the U/S Cine image is active, the left mouse button has an additional function. Doubleclicking allows the user to adjust the trajectory of the needle guideline. The needle guideline will be redrawn to accommodate the marked needle tip location. If systematic targets have been configured, toggle the Systematic Regions icon to activate biopsy regions.
For transperineal procedures, the following steps apply to perform biopsies: 1. Select the target to be viewed or biopsied from the Target Selection commands. 2. Rotate the TRUS transducer. Use the projected ultrasound plane intersection in the 3D viewport to view the target in the ultrasound image. The following image is an example of transperineal navigation with grid plate overlay (intersecting U/S imaging plane).
Navigation is easily achieved by rotating the transducer in the transperineal Stepper assembly. 3. In free-hand transperineal workflows where the needle guide is attached to the ultrasound probe, the displayed needle guideline can be adjusted vertically in live mode. This adjustment may be necessary, for example, if tape is added to the probe to improve grip of the attached needle. To vertically adjust the needle guideline, click the hollow magenta square and drag it, up or down, to align with the physical needle.
The rectangular grid overlay provides navigation guidance on where the needle is to be inserted. Ensure the biopsy guide line intersects the pre-selected target and advance the needle in through the highlighted grid hole, monitoring the needle trajectory and insertion line continuously to ensure safety and accuracy. The clinician has the flexibility to use the highlighted grid hole or manually override the selection to insert the needle. 5. When the biopsy sample is taken, select Freeze or press the foot pedal to temporarily interrupt real-time, cine viewing. Scroll through the U/S images using the mouse wheel or the cine scroll slider bar on the right side of the viewport to locate the point in time where the distal tip of the biopsy needle is fully deployed. 4.
Hover the mouse cursor over the biopsy guideline (color changes to green) and use the mouse wheel or left mouse button to place the line marker to the distal tip of the biopsy needle. 7. Press the Add button from the Biopsies list menu to record this location and associate it with the current target. A screen capture will be acquired and a time stamp will be recorded and displayed. Procedure and Images Review screen The Procedure and Images Review screen lets you review the screen captures and video recordings of the procedure, as well as the segmentations and marked biopsy cores. NOTICE The Procedure and Images Review screen will display reconstructed ultrasound images for U/S Only patients. The screen has two tabs — one for the Procedure Review and the other for Images Review — that enable you to toggle between the reviews. The Procedure Review tab enables the 3D review of biopsies and targets projected in the unedited MRI-defined prostate boundary, in addition to captured screenshots and videos.
Biopsy/Screen Captures list: Displays a list of targets (white text) and associated captured biopsy cores (yellow text). Biopsy cores are defined by their number and time of capture. Manual screenshots taken during the procedure can also be reviewed from this list. PI-RADS: Displays a list of all screen captures taken during the procedure. View: Provides different views for targets (volume) and biopsies (volume/ automatic screen capture). It also enables the review of videos and manual screenshots taken during the procedure. 3D mesh: While Volume is selected in View, it shows a 3D summary of the prostate boundary, targets, and biopsy cores. Selected targets (both systematic and non-systematic) and cores are highlighted. The Images Review tab enables the review of the biopsies obtained overlayed on the imported multi-planar MRI.

Overview The Advanced Annotation workflow enables you to display imported regions of interest (ROIs) as overlays on MR and (live) TRUS images. You can add (volumetric) annotations as overlays to represent locations of applicators. To start a workflow: 1. Ensure that a patient case is available. See “UroNav Home screen” on page 102 for more information on how to import a patient case. 2. Click and drag the patient case from the All Patients list to the Worklist. 3. Click Advanced Annotation. You may use buttons on the Navigation toolbar (displayed on the top) to navigate between different workflow steps. Each step is represented by a dedicated button, which will take you to the corresponding screen. The workflow consists of the following steps: Button Workflow Step Description of main actions Review ROIs & targets Provides tools to review the imported MR images and associated ROIs. Setup Select the appropriate configuration for the workflow and start up the EM tracking system. Sweep & segmentation Acquire a volumetric ultrasound image and indicate the prostate boundary. Align U/S volume with MR Define the registration between the imported MRI data and live U/S images Navigate Add annotations on the live ultrasound imaging. Review workflow Review the screen captures, video recordings and workflow summary. When transitioning between the different screens or when stopping the workflow, the recorded data up to that point will be stored, enabling the possibility to resume an uncompleted workflow. In the Navigate screen, any procedure data will be stored regardless of screen transitioning.
The In-Viewport toolbar provides quick access to several tools for making direct modifications to the image or visual overlays in the main display area.

Review ROIs and Targets screen Review ROIs and Targets screen The Review ROIs and Targets screen provides tools to enable you to review the imported MR images and associated ROIs. See “Import” on page 103 for more information on data import. You may designate any ROI as a target or no-go zone, and optionally, add margins or point targets. ROIs: Displays a list of ROIs, including target or no-go zone designations and volumes in cc. Axial: Displays the axial view of the imported MR images and its visual overlays. Sagittal: Displays the sagittal view of the imported MR images and its visual overlays. Coronal: Displays the coronal view of the imported MR images and its visual overlays. 3D: Displays MR ROIs in 3D.
The imported prostate ROI boundary and margin boundaries may be manually edited. This functionality is not available for imported target ROI. NOTICE Boundary adjustments made in the Review ROI and Targets screen are only retained for the remainder of the workflow and will not be stored or exported. Workflow results are viewed and stored on the imported, unedited MRI-defined prostate ROI. The Adjust ROI Boundary tool will let you drag the boundary of an ROI to a specified location and update the boundary shape in 3D accordingly. The Adjust ROI Boundary and cursor tool functions the same, but will also update all 2D viewports to display the current image slice of where the mouse cursor is currently being dragged. To adjust ROI boundaries: 1. Click the prostate ROI or a margin in the ROIs list. 2. Select an Adjust ROI Boundary tool from the toolbar in the image viewport. 3. Use the mouse cursor to hover over an area of the ROI boundary that you want to move; it will light up in a pink color. 4. Click the left mouse button and drag the boundary to a different location. 5. Release the mouse button to end the action. 6. (Optional) Click the Smooth button to smooth out the edited boundary. To adjust ROI boundaries using the 3D Brush tool: Click the prostate ROI or a margin in the ROIs list. 2. Select the 3D Brush tool from the toolbar in the image viewport. 3. Move the mouse cursor over the images. If you hover on the inside of the selected ROI boundary, you will see a plus (+) sign. Click the left mouse button and drag the plus (+) sphere around to add areas to the existing ROI boundary. 4. If you hover on the outside of the selected ROI boundary, you will see a minus (-) sign. Click the left mouse button and drag the minus (-) sphere around to remove areas from the existing ROI boundary. 5. Release the mouse button to end the action. 6. (Optional) Click the Smooth button to smooth out the edited boundary. The 3D Brush tool may also be resized. ► Select one of the following icons in the toolbar to adjust the size of the 3D brush: Enlarge brush size (icon shown in left margin - above). Shrink brush size (icon shown in left margin - below). ► Alternately, press the Plus key (+) to increase or Minus key (-) to decrease the brush size. If necessary, you can clear a manually created ROI boundary and redo it using the 3D Brush tool. To clear an ROI boundary: ► Right-click the ROI in the ROIs list and select Clear.
A margin represents a copy of a selected ROI with a specified offset. 1. Select the ROI for which a margin should be added. 2. Click Add margin. 3. Specify the name and color. 4. Specify the size (positive or negative offset in millimeters) and whether the margin should be restricted to the prostate ROI boundary. 5. (Optional) Change the Is Target or Is no-go designation. 6. Click OK to add the margin. The margin is displayed as an additional ROI in the ROIs list and viewports. You may edit margin settings or delete the margin after it was created. To edit margin settings: ► Right-click the margin in the ROIs list and click Edit. You may also adjust the boundary of the margin like any other ROI. To reset a margin to its original offset: ► Click Re-apply margin.
A Region of Interest (ROI) can have one of two designations for use during the workflow: Target or No-go zone. These ROI designations are input to constraint-driven planning; see “Navigate screen” on page 154 for more information. For a Target ROI, the system will propose a set of annotations that maximize its volumetric coverage. For a No-go zone, the system will avoid applicator paths that intersect the ROI and minimize its volumetric coverage. To adjust the ROI designation: 1. Right-click the ROI in the list and select one of two designations: 2. Either select the Is Target checkbox, 3. Or select the Is no-go checkbox. The ROI list will display the corresponding icon to represent the selected designation.
Any ROI, except for the imported prostate ROI, can be deleted. To delete an ROI: 1. Right-click the ROI in the ROIs list. 2. Select Delete. 3. When a confirmation dialog appears, click OK to confirm the deletion.
A point target can be added manually. The point target is represented as a point within the image volume and is displayed as an overlay in the subsequent workflow screens. To add a point target: ► Select the Pick Point tool and click a point within the MR images. ► Select Add Point Target to add a point target at the indicated location. The ROI list and viewports will display the added point. To continue to the Setup screen, click Next.
4. If rotation is necessary, use the Registration rotate tool. 5. Select a planned annotation from the Annotations list. This will highlight the associated grid hole. 6. Rotate the TRUS probe to have the imaging plane intersect with the selected grid hole and the pink dots are displayed in the Live U/S view, representing the projection of the grid hole. 7. Click Place to display a virtual applicator on the planned location. 8. Insert the applicator through the selected grid hole and monitor its trajectory on the live TRUS image. 9. When the applicator has reached its intended location, mark the tip location with a leftclick. Ensure that the tip is marked accurately as this will determine where the associated annotation will be placed in relation to the MRI-derived ROIs. A screenshot is automatically collected at this time. 10. The annotation status in the Annotations list will change to Placed (as shown left). For more information about annotation status icons and their meanings, see "Annotation Status" in the section “Working with annotations” on page 157. To adjust the location of the virtual applicator tip: 1. Select a placed annotation from the Annotations list. 2. Click and drag the tip of the virtual applicator to edit its position. The automatically collected screenshot is updated at this time. To finalize the status of an annotation from Placed to Completed, do either of the following: ► Select an annotation, which currently has the Placed status, in the Annotations list, and then click the Complete button. The annotation status in the Annotations list will change to Completed. ► Alternatively, hover the mouse cursor over the status icon of any Placed annotation and left click to change the status to Completed. After you have completed the workflow, select Done to proceed to the Review Workflow screen.
Always ensure that the displayed plane and depth setting in the live imaging view is the same as on the ultrasound machine before marking applicator locations.
You can only edit applicators that are not yet completed.

The list of supported grid plates and accessories for the UroNav Stepper can be viewed in “Supported Stepper accessories” on page 173.
Stepper arm setup This appendix provides detailed instructions on the setup of the Stepper arm (shown below), the Stepper, and ultrasound probes, used for transperineal procedures. This appendix describes: • a “Stepper arm overview” on page 245 • “Attaching Stepper arm to examination table” on page 246 • the “Stepper setup” on page 251, which includes further details about attaching/removing EM sensors, probes, and grid plates. • and more information about the “Stepper stand” on page 266
Diagram Description The Stepper arm clamps to EU tables with support bar dimensions of 10mm by 25mm and U.S. tables with support bar dimensions of 0.375 inches by 1.125 inches, as illustrated in the following image: The Stepper arm clamps to Japanese tables with support bar dimensions of 9mm by 32mm. The Stepper arm accommodates a maximum table width of 24 inches (610 mm).
To attach the Stepper arm to the examination table: 1. Open the width adjustment handle. 2. Place left-side clamp onto the table support bar. 3. Adjust width of the right-side clamp to the width of the table and place right-side clamp onto the table support bar. 4. Clamp to the proper distance and tighten clamps down carefully.
When the width adjust handle is open, the clamp can slide off the end of the tube. Do not allow this to happen, as components of the clamp can fall out.
Tighten the width adjustment handle once the proper width is found.
6. Open the arm adjustment handle. 7. Remove the arm adjustment handle and pull the articulated arm out from the holder.
Install the articulated arm on the opposite side. 9. Reinstall the arm adjustment handle and tight.
11. After finding the optimal position, tighten handle.
The optimal position depends on the individual patient and therefore, the arm position may need adjustment before each procedure.
The Stepper Arm is designed to only hold the Stepper. Do not attach any additional devices to the holder assembly.
Before release, be ready to hold up the Stepper. After the articulated arm is adjusted, tighten hand knob properly. A loose hand knob can cause the joints to drift.
To remove the Stepper arm: 1. Open the clamp handles. 2. Remove the clamps from the table support bar.
This section provides further details, including visual examples, related to the Stepper, its installation to the arm, plus installation of EM sensors, probes, and the grid plate. For more information regarding probe or grid plate movements, see “Probe movements” on page 258 and “Grid plate linear and micro movements” on page 259. For information on how to remove EM sensors, probes, and the grid plate, see “Removal of the grid, EM sensor, and probe” on page 261.
To install the Stepper to the arm: ► Slide the Stepper in the arm mount and close the lever.
To install the EM sensor: ► Push EM sensor into place. Ensure that the EM sensor is pushed down properly.
Improper mounting of EM sensor to the Stepper can result in inaccurate tracking of the grid compromising the accuracy of the procedure.
Fig. 7: BK 8848 and E14CL4B EM sensor installation Fig. 8: Fujifilm (Hitachi) C41L47RP/CL4416R1 EM sensor installation
Failure to fully secure the EM Tracker to the Probe Holder will compromise the positional tracking of the TRUS probe resulting in grossly inaccurate registration between the US imaging and EM tracked tools.
To install the probe:
Slide the probe into place, aligning the reference pin with the holder hole. 2. Close the clamp and tighten the thumbscrew.
Improper mounting of the probe to the Stepper could result in inaccurate tracking of the probe, thereby compromising the accuracy of the procedure.
Fig. 9: BK 8848 and E14CL4B Probe Installation
To install the grid plate: 1. Loosen thumbscrews, if necessary, and push grid plate down into place.
Tighten thumbscrews. The right side screw is left-hand threaded, so it works in a direction opposite than usual. Ensure that the grid plate is pushed properly down.
Improper mounting of the grid to the Stepper results in inaccurate tracking of the grid, compromising the accuracy of the procedure.
The following images illustrate possible probe movements: Use the rotation handle with caution. The opening on the rotation handle may create a pinching point hazard.
Before the procedure, lift both levers to the highest position. This is the highest position where the grid plate can be, and it is centralized. When the levers are pushed down, the grid plate moves vertically downward.
The grid plate can go lower than the probe and interference is possible. Do not force the grid plate down if it touches the probe.
Moving one lever while the other one remains stationary achieves horizontal movement of the grid plate.
This section provides further details, including visual examples, related to the removal of EM sensors, probes, and the grid plate.
To remove the grid plate: ► Loosen thumbscrews, if necessary, and pull grid plate out.
To remove the EM sensor from the grid plate mount: ► Push EM sensor out of its place.
To remove the probe: 1. Loosen the thumbscrew and open the clamp. 2. Lift and slide the probe out of its place.
To remove the stepper: ► Open the lever and pull the stepper out.
The following image shows the Stepper attached to the Stepper stand instead of the Stepper arm.
► Slide the stepper in the arm mount. ► Close the lever.
The stand allows 10 inches of gross vertical adjustment. Set the adjustment to middle position before the procedure.
Relock all castors after any positioning adjustment.
After positioning the optional Stepper stand, ensure all castors are in the locked (down) position.
Retighten knob after adjustment to prevent stepper movement.
