She was evaluated by neurosurgery for worsening tremors and underwent MRgFUS thalamotomy. A stereotactic frame and helmet containing ultrasonic transducer arrays were placed over her head. Water circulating between the transducer arrays and the scalp provided a medium for ultrasound waves to travel ...
MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS), in combination with intravenous microbubble administration, has been applied for focal temporary BBB opening in patients with neurodegenerative disorders and brain tumors. MRgFUS could become a therapeutic tool for
