Exablate Neuro™

The award winning Exablate Neuro™ delivers up to 1024 ultrasound waves to precisely heat and ablate deep brain targets with no surgical incisions or burr holes. Treatment is guided by MR imaging for patient-specific planning, real-time temperature monitoring as well as immediate confirmation of treatment outcome.

First, low energy is applied for locating the ultrasound to the anatomic target followed by physiologic evaluation of patient response including tremor relief as well as potential side effects.

Once the target is confirmed, the energy is gradually increased to create a highly accurate and controllable lesion. The result for many patients is immediate improvement of tremor with no overnight hospital stay.

THE FOREFRONT OF INNOVATION

• FDA-approved focused ultrasound treatment for Essential Tremor and Tremor-Dominant PD.
• No craniotomy with low to no risk of infection or bleeding.
• No implanted hardware or multiple follow up visits.
• Quick recovery and rapid return to daily activities for patients.

INCISIONLESS THALAMOTOMY

MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) can be an option for medication-refractory Essential Tremor (ET) and Tremor-Dominant Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients who are not candidates or not willing to have invasive surgery.
