The method can also include energizing the transducer to ablate a first lesion on or in the designated treatment volume, de-energizing the transducer, and focusing or moving the transducer to a second location on or in the designated treatment volume. The method can also include reenergizing the transducer to ablate a second lesion on or in the treatment volume, de-energizing the transducer, and focusing or moving the transducer to a third location on or in the designated treatment volume. The method can further include reenergizing the transducer to ablate a third lesion on or in the treatment volume, and de-energizing the transducer.
