The present invention is directed to an imaging-compatible device for insertion into a region of tissue under image guidance, which employs ultrasound energy for the generation of thermal lesions. The coating and developing apparatus includes a developing module; a cleaning module; and a transfer mechanism configured to transfer a substrate developed by the developing module to the cleaning module. The techniques may be used in messaging systems that have various topologies. In some embodiments, the detecting, the performing, or both are performed by the storage device, or by one or more subsystems of the storage system distinct from the storage device, or by the host. The data is submitted to one or more back-end systems associated with the electronic form.
