摘要: … Technological breakthroughs over the past few years have made it possible to transmit and focus ultrasound through the intact human skull. To enable noninvasive treatment of brain tissues with ultrasound, Kullervo Hynynen and colleagues have refined an image-guided technique known as MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS), which is presently used to thermally ablate uterine fibroids by means of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). In the general MRgFUS approach to treating brain tissues with ultrasound, a CT scan is first …
