Abstract :

MRI-guided Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound has a wide range of applications in neurological disorders and is superior to other minimally invasive neuromodulation techniques in terms of a better spatial resolution and stimulating deeper brain structures. Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, essential tremor, brain malignancy, epilepsy, nerve block, medication delivery, and stroke are among the neurological disorders which benefit from MRI-guided Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. In addition, the safety profile of this minimally invasive neurostimulation technique is also well studied and approved. Therefore, the clinical application of Focused Ultrasound in neurologic disorders should be the focus of future clinical trials.
