Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) has the potential to create a shift in the treatment paradigm of several intracranial disorders. High-resolution MRI guidance combined with an accurate method of delivering high doses of transcranial ultrasound energy to a discrete focal point has led to the exploration of noninvasive treatments for diseases traditionally treated by invasive surgical procedures. In this review, the authors examine the current intracranial applications under investigation and explore other potential uses for MRgFUS in the intracranial space based on their initial cadaveric studies.
磁共振引导聚焦超声手术(MRgFUS)有可能改变几种颅内疾病的治疗模式。高分辨率 MRI 引导与将高剂量经颅超声能量准确传递到离散焦点的方法相结合,为传统采用侵入性手术治疗的疾病探索了非侵入性治疗方法。在这篇综述中,作者检查了目前正在研究的颅内应用,并根据他们最初的尸体研究探讨了 MRgFUS 在颅内空间的其他潜在用途。
