MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound in Parkinson's Disease: A Review
MRI-guided focused ultrasound is a new technology that enables intracranial ablation. Since lesioning ameliorates some of the symptoms of PD, this technology is being explored as a possible treatment for medication resistant symptoms in PD patients. The purpose of this paper is to review the clinical use and treatment outcomes of PD patients treated to date with this technology.
متن کاملMRI-guided disruption of the blood-brain barrier using transcranial focused ultrasound in a rat model.
Focused ultrasound (FUS) disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an increasingly investigated technique for circumventing the BBB(1-5). The BBB is a significant obstacle to pharmaceutical treatments of brain disorders as it limits the passage of molecules from the vasculature into the brain tissue to molecules less than approximately 500 Da in size(6). FUS induced BBB disruption (BBBD) i...
متن کاملPreclinical evaluation of a low-frequency transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound system in a primate model.
This study investigated thermal ablation and skull-induced heating with a 230 kHz transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound (TcMRgFUS) system in nonhuman primates. We evaluated real-time acoustic feedback and aimed to understand whether cavitation contributed to the heating and the lesion formation. In four macaques, we sonicated thalamic targets at acoustic powers of 34-560 W (896-7590 J). Ti...
متن کاملTranscranial Focused Ultrasound Modulates Electrical Behavior of the Neurons: Design and Implementation of a Model
Background: Recently, ultrasonic neuromodulation research has been an important and interesting issue. Ultrasonic neuromodulation is possible by the use of low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) to stimulate or inhibit the neural structures. The primary capability of this method is the improvement in the treatment progress of certain neurological and psychiatric disorders noninvas...
متن کاملTranscranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery of brain tumors: Initial findings in patients
Introduction: Previously, an MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) system was described that aims to use transcranial ultrasound exposures to noninvasively thermally ablate targets in the brain (1-3). This system uses acoustic models, geometric and density information derived from CT scans, and a phased array transducer to correct for skull-induced aberrations of the ultrasound beam (4). Here ...
