Insightec’s Exablate Neuro is the first and only Focused Ultrasound platform for treating essential tremor, tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease, and neuropathic pain.

The disruptive technology can deliver up to 1,024 ultrasound waves across the skull to precisely ablate a target deep in the brain. This incision-free treatment is performed in the MRI suite typically on an outpatient basis.

During a Focused Ultrasound treatment, the treating physician sits at a computer in the MRI control room, using a mouse instead of a scalpel, to expertly create a lesion.

Treatment is guided by MR imaging for patient-specific treatment planning, real-time thermal feedback, and continuous treatment monitoring.

Key Features

• ACCURATE PLANNING: Treatment planning is performed on high resolution MR images of target areas with fusion of pre-treatment CT and MRI images Pre-treatment planning module personalizes treatment parameters according to patient anatomy
• Visual archive stored for treatment replay and assessment
• REAL-TIME MRI THERMAL FEEDBACK: thermometry provides real-time temperature feedback. This allows adjustment of parameters as needed during treatment.
• MR IMAGING GUIDANCE: Precise identification of targeted anatomy
• Visualisation of beam path for verification
• Clear differentiation between treated and non-treated area
