The present study provides further evidence that MRgFUS is a feasible option for FT of intermediate-risk PCa that has oncologic outcomes that are potentially better than those of ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound FT.

Fantastic overview on MRgFUS this morning by J. Levi Chazen MD at #ASNR22 ! Many more FUS talks later this afternoon with Arash Nazeri, Federico Bruno, Lubdha Shah, and Lela Okromelidze, MD moderated by Kazim Narsinh Also don’t miss a great talk by our awesome fellow Fabricio Stewan Feltrin on 4/17/22

Multicenter collaboration in Neurosurgery Publications shows bilateral #DBS has most utility & is most cost-effective in #Parkinsons (vs. RF ablation & unilateral DBS).

Benchmarks of 16% improvement @ 2yrs & 33% improvement @ 5yrs set for focused ultrasound.

#MRI guided focused #ultrasound ( #MRgFUS ) can be an effective therapy for essential #tremor . Patient is awake during the treatment & tested during the process to ensure safety. Here is example of a recent patient treated at Penn Medicine Penn Neurosurgery Casey Halpern #Neurosurgery

Could Magnetic resonance-guided FUS (MRgFUS) sonolysis be useful for distal thrombi?
