Non-invasive treatment of pediatric neurological disorders using MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS)

Neuroscientists and engineers at the University of Toronto, Hospital for Sick Children, and University Health Network and Thunder Bay Regional Research Institute have joined together to develop a novel next generation non-invasive treatment technique, MR guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS), for two common and disabling pediatric neurological conditions, stroke and drug resistant epilepsy. MRgFUS allows clinicians to perform “incision-less” surgery by using focusing ultrasound energy through the skull to specific point for heating and mechanical disruption.
