Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound unilateral thalamotomy for medically refractory essential tremor: 3-year follow-up data [PDF]
IntroductionMagnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy of the ventralis intermediate (Vim) nucleus is an “incisionless” treatment for medically refractory essential tremor (ET). We present data on 49 consecutive cases of MRgFUS Vim

Outcomes of Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy in Tremor Syndromes
The current literature comparing outcomes after a unilateral magnetic resonance image–guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy between tremor syndromes is limited and remains a possible preoperative factor that could help predict the long‐term ...

Improving tremor response to focused ultrasound thalamotomy
MRI-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound thalamotomy is an incisionless therapy for essential tremor. To reduce adverse effects, the field has migrated to treating at 2 mm above the anterior commissure-posterior commissure plane.
