Abstract
Background:
Magnetic-Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound (FUS) thalamotomy is a
new and less invasive surgical technique for treating Parkinson’s disease (PD). During therapy, the
required part of the cerebral (as STN, Internal Globus Pallidus, and Ventral Intermediate Nucleus)
is ablated with less possibility of infection and brain hemorrhage as it normally happens in invasive
procedures.
Introduction:
New advancement in the technique enable it for transcranial transportation of US. Now a days, US coupling
with MRI confirms the accurate energy transferring and monitoring. So, MRI guided FUS lesioning is discovered for
various psychiatrics and brain disorders.
Methods:
A technical overview of non-invasive MRI-FUS thalamotomy to treat various tremors is described here.
Research, review articles, and book chapters are extracted from online resources using related search strings from year
1994-2020.
Results:
MRgFUS is concluded a non-invasive, satisfactory, and safe technique to reduce the tremor.
Conclusion:
MRgFUS is comparatively a new method that is being explored as a non-invasive cerebral
ablation to solve the problems of movement disorder.
