Summary:A IIIFU System ( 100 ) is disclosed which may automatically generate a proposed treatment plan for treating a tissue treatment area ( 10 ) with HIFU Therapy. In one example, the proposed treatment plan includes a plurality of treatment sites selected based on a three-dimensional model generated from ultrasound data. In another example, the proposed treatment plan excludes portions of the tissue treatment area ( 10 ) corresponding to blood flow, such as the neuro-vascular bundles ( 20 ) when treating the prostate ( 11 ).
