1. A method, comprising:
setting, by a processor, information for a moving trajectory, an ultrasound irradiation unit, and/or an ultrasound irradiation spot;
outputting, by the processor, a transducer control signal based on the set information;
ultrasonically irradiating, by a transducer, based on the transducer control signal, one or more points while moving following a preset moving trajectory;
scanning, by the transducer, the one or more irradiated points to obtain an image;
determining, by the processor, based on the image, whether an ultrasound irradiation area contains a remaining tumor to be treated; and
based on determining that the ultrasound irradiation area contains a remaining tumor to be treated, performing additional ultrasonic irradiation, wherein performing the additional ultrasonic irradiation is based on remaining tumor possibility information generated based on a machine learning process, wherein the remaining tumor possibility information includes an expected three-dimensional position and size of the remaining tumor to be treated.
