Summary

Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgHiFUS) can be used to create lesions in the depth of the brain without opening the skull, which opens up new treatment options. For patients who are not eligible for deep brain stimulation (DBS) for various reasons (for example, too much atrophy, vessels in the area of the trajectory, or advanced age) this can be a useful addition to the therapeutic armamentarium. To date, more than 3,500 patients have been treated with this method, with a focus on patients with essential tremor (ET) and tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease (PD).
