What is Focused Ultrasound? Like a magnifying glass focusing beams of light on a single point, focused ultrasound concentrates ultrasound energy on a target in the body without harming healthy surrounding tissue. Read More. What can focused ultrasound treat? Focused ultrasound is being researched for over 170 diseases worldwide.
Focused ultrasound is a rapidly evolving, noninvasive therapeutic technology with the potential to transform the treatment of many medical disorders by using ultrasonic energy to target tissue deep in the body without incisions or radiation.
Focused ultrasound is a rapidly evolving, noninvasive, therapeutic technology with the potential to improve the quality of life and decrease the cost of care for patients with essential tremor. This novel technology focuses multiple beams of ultrasound energy precisely and accurately on targets deep in the brain without damaging surrounding ...
MR-guided focused ultrasound treats tremors by combining the vision and planning of MRI with the use of concentrated beams of ultrasound to destroy targeted tissue. Cleveland Clinic reviews how this procedure is used to treat essential tremor and tremor associated with Parkinson's disease.
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), or MR-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery is an incision-less therapeutic technique [1] that uses non-ionizing ultrasonic waves to heat or ablate tissue. HIFU can be used to increase the flow of blood or lymph or to destroy tissue, such as tumors, via thermal and mechanical mechanisms. Given the ...
Focused ultrasound uses MRI technology to guide ultrasound waves to treat the part of the brain that causes tremor. Most patients experience significant, lasting improvement in just a few hours, and because there is no incision, they avoid the risks and difficult recovery of major surgery.
Focused ultrasound (FUS) offers the ability to non-invasively and precisely intervene in key circuits that underlie common and challenging brain disorders.
Discover Rush's focused ultrasound treatment for essential tremors and Parkinsonian tremors. Safe, effective, non-invasive therapy improving lives.
Focused ultrasound is a noninvasive procedure that uses sound waves to heat up and destroy or change tiny patches of your body tissue without affecting the surrounding tissue. Learn more about this innovative treatment option at UVA.
MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS), also referred to as high-intensity focused ultrasound, is a noninvasive, incisionless procedure. This therapy uses highly focused sound waves as a form of energy to treat essential tremor and symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease, including tremor, rigidity, and slowness of movement.
