Is the optimal target for #MRgFUS ablation different in #PD patients versus those with #ET? Discover the findings in our latest paper in @MDJ_Journal, led by my colleague @CCheyuo .

The results of our sham-controlled unilateral #pallidotomy trial with #MRgFUS (MRI-guided focused ultrasound) for #Parkinson are finally out!
Looking forward to the next steps, bilateral lesions included.

Today we treated the 19th patient of our bilateral #MRgFUS trial. Look at her spirals just 1 hour after the procedure. Before the surgery, she was not able to put pen to paper, literally. @DrAlfonsoFasano @INSIGHTEC @FUSFoundation...

An update on current use of #MRgFUS for the treatment of #tremor by my beloved friend Kazuaki Yamamoto. @KazYamaBrain @FUSFoundation @tandfmedicine @UofTNeuroSurge @INSIGHTEC @NardinSamuel @DrAjmalZemmar @CA1CA2CA3CA4 @CCheyuo...

#MRgFUS #thalamotomy is typically performed unilaterally for the #tremor of the dominant side. Patients often ask if their head/voice and non-dominant hand will also improve.
We looked into this and found that it happens in a subset with a slightly different targeting.

Why do #tremor patients know #MRgFUS (MRI-guided #focused #ultrasound) but they seldom heard of #DBS?
And how has this affected DBS recruitment?

Our paper in @MDJ_Journal is out:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35234316/

I'm sure this is something seen in other centres...

It's nice to see that #MRgFUS (#focusedultrasound) has made so many progresses in few years... see our view condensed in the table below 👇.
