Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a medical treatment option for people with essential tremor or tremor dominant Parkinson's disease who have not responded to medication or are unwilling to undergo invasive surgery. The method involves using focused beams of ultrasonic energy guided by MRI to target locations deep in the brain with no incisions or permanent implants.

Patients with Essential Tremor and Tremor dominant Parkinson's Disease can now benefit from the therapeutic power of focused ultrasound by harnessing acoustic energy. The future of neurosurgery has come.
KIMS Hospitals is the first among its peers to launch into the Telangana market a Focused Ultrasound platform to treat Essential Tremor and Parkinson's Disease. - This procedure, which uses up to 1,024 ultrasonic pulses across specific spots in the skull to precisely ablate a target deep in the brain, is conducted incision-free in the MRI suite as an outpatient.
In the Focused Ultrasound treatment, a treating specialist sits at a computer in the MRI control room and expertly marks and creates a lesion in the skull using a mouse rather than a knife. This treatment is guided by MR imaging for patient-specific treatment planning, which includes real-time thermal feedback and continuous treatment monitoring.
