MRgFUS Technology Explained – MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound
Understanding MRgFUS Technology
MRgFUS combines high-intensity focused ultrasound with real-time MRI guidance, enabling clinicians to treat diseased tissue accurately while minimizing effects on surrounding structures. The therapy works by concentrating ultrasound waves on the target area to generate heat and induce tissue modification or ablation.
Key Benefits of MRgFUS
- Minimally invasive: No surgical incisions are required
- Real-time monitoring: MRI continuously tracks the treatment area
- Rapid recovery: Patients typically experience shorter hospital stays and fewer complications
Clinical Relevance
This advanced technology is increasingly applied in neurology, oncology, and gynecology, offering an effective alternative to invasive procedures. Dr. Gallay highlights the potential of MRgFUS to transform patient care with precision, safety, and efficiency.
