Details.
A non-invasive neurological treatment technology combining MRI with focused ultrasound to target deep tissue without incisions or radiation. The procedure includes MRI scans to map the treatment area, treatment in an MRI scanner using a helmet-like ultrasound device, and real-time MRI monitoring. It may be used for conditions including essential tremor, Parkinson’s disease, neuropathic pain and certain brain tumours. Patient selection and potential risks, including headache, dizziness, local discomfort, thermal injury, temporary numbness or tingling, and possible hearing damage, should be considered. Procedure duration varies depending on the condition and treatment area.
