Overview
MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is an incisionless treatment for essential tremor and tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease. Hundreds of ultrasound beams are focused through the intact skull onto a precise thalamic target, creating a small therapeutic lesion under real-time MRI guidance and temperature monitoring. Because there are no incisions, electrodes or implants, recovery is rapid and infection risk is minimal. Tremor improvement is typically immediate and usually treats one side of the body.
