Evidence-based recommendations on MRI-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy for treating moderate to severe tremor in Parkinson’s. This involves using ultrasound to destroy tissue in the thalamus.
Focal therapy using high-intensity focused ultrasound for localised prostate cancer (HTG667)
Evidence-based recommendations on focal therapy using high-intensity focused ultrasound for localised prostate cancer. This involves using high-intensity focused ultrasound to heat up and destroy only the areas of the prostate with cancer (focal therapy). The aim is to destroy the cancer while reducing damage to healthy prostate tissue.
