The ExAblate 2000 system consists of the following components:
- Operating Console. The ExAblate 2000 console allows the operator to control and monitor both the system and the treatment. It is positioned alongside the GE SIGNA workstation in the control room.
- Patient table. The patient table is a modified GE MRI table which contains a phased array transducer in a sealed water bath. The transducer is mounted on a motion system which moves left-right, head-toe and tilts in two axes. Treatments are conducted with the patient lying on the patient table inside the MR scanner.

Famous quotes containing the word components:
“Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
