MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound Therapy (FUS) (Kitano Hospital Medical Research Institute)

This treatment method involves securing the patient's head in a therapeutic helmet equipped with ultrasonic transducers. These transducers focus ultrasound waves on the neural circuit hub responsible for tremors, generating heat to coagulate the target tissue. As an advanced, non-invasive procedure, it offers high safety and has garnered significant attention.
