49:59So it's relying on imaging. So it's, you see it, see it. So it's image guided. Uh, and if you actually looking at a treatment is, uh, the, the clinician going on image, they outline where your tumor is. Uh, then there is a software program, create a path for the robot arm. So the treatment head is controlled by a robot arm. So it creates a treatment scan path for the robot to scan through, uh, to make sure the tumor is covered with a margin. And then the treatment itself is automated. So after the, uh, clinician pan out and confirm everything is okay, they click a go
50:42button. Then literally, uh, the treat, the, uh, robot arm just scan it through, uh, the region, uh, and, and the, you know, and doing the treatment, you can still see what's going on. So there's actually this real time image guidance and monitoring because it was a bubble generated our natural contrast agent for ultrasound. So we can see that. So even though you don't open the patient up, there's no incision. You actually can visualize what's going on to maintain a high treatment accuracy, safety, and efficacy. Yeah. That makes sense. And like the fact that it's imaging along with automation
51:24and robotics, I mean, I can imagine there's a lot of space for artificial intelligence and the technologies that are being developed today in robotics to expand this further. Have you been doing work exploring those options? Definitely. So there is a room for AI to assist in many aspects of this whole treatment planning, uh, treatment, uh, delivery and the treatment follow-up thing. But however, cause we actually recently had a meeting with the clinicians on this too. And they asked, however, uh, I assured clinician that we still need a clinician to be responsible, right.
52:06And to say, this is the part I want to treat and to be there to make sure that's really the part you treated. Right. Uh, and, and if there is, you know, cause you know, God forbid something may happen, you know, there's not always a hundred percent to be there if something unexpected happens and they can deal with it right
