Advances in transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound have renewed interest in lesioning procedures in functional neurosurgery with a potential role in the treatment of neurological conditions such as chronic pain, brain tumours, movement disorders and psychiatric diseases. While the use of transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound represents a new innovation in neurosurgery, ultrasound has been used in neurosurgery for almost 60 years. This paper reviews the major historical milestones that have led to modern transcranial focused ultrasound and discusses current and evolving applications of ultrasound in the brain.
经颅磁共振成像引导聚焦超声技术的进展重新激发了人们对功能性神经外科手术中病变切除程序的兴趣，其在治疗慢性疼痛、脑肿瘤、运动障碍和精神疾病等神经疾病方面具有潜在作用。虽然经颅磁共振成像引导聚焦超声技术的应用代表了神经外科的一项新创新，但超声在神经外科的应用已有近60年历史。本文回顾了促成现代经颅聚焦超声技术的主要历史里程碑，并讨论了超声在脑部当前及不断发展的应用。
