Unlike traditional neurosurgery that requires incisions, MRgFUS is a non-invasive, incisionless treatment.

切開を必要とする従来の脳神経外科手術とは異なり、MRgFUSは非侵襲的で切開を伴わない治療です。

techMRgFUS

Using concentrated ultrasound energy, surgeons create a tiny, precise lesion in the thalamus, effectively silencing the signals that cause tremors.

集中した超音波エネルギーを使い、外科医は視床に小さく精密な病巣を作り、振戦の原因となる信号を効果的に遮断します。

Guided by real-time MRI, the process is incredibly accurate, allowing for immediate relief.

MRIによるリアルタイムのガイドのおかげで、このプロセスは非常に正確であり、即座の症状緩和を可能にします。

Because no skull drilling or hardware implantation is involved, the risk of infection is drastically lower than with Deep Brain Stimulation.

頭蓋骨への穿孔や機器の埋め込みを行わないため、脳深部刺激療法に比べて感染症のリスクが劇的に低くなります。

理解度チェック

What is the primary mechanism of MRgFUS?

正解

Using focused ultrasound beams to create a precise thermal lesion.

Which of the following is a major advantage of MRgFUS over traditional surgery?

正解

It does not require incisions or drilling into the skull.

What role does the MRI play during the procedure?

正解

It provides real-time guidance to pinpoint the target and monitor temperature.

Which condition is specifically mentioned as being treatable by this procedure?

正解

Essential Tremor.

Why is the effect of the MRgFUS procedure considered permanent?

正解

Because it involves creating a thermal lesion in the brain tissue.
