according to two presentations delivered at the annual meeting of the North American Neuromodulation Society. The techniques’ surgical procedures, associated risks, and adverse event profiles may influence neurologists and patients in their choice of treatment.
FUS allows neurosurgeons to apply thermal ablation to create a lesion on the thalamus. MRI guidance enables precise control of the lesion location (within approximately 1 mm) and of the treatment intensity. The surgery can be performed with high-resolution stereotactic framing.
