New technique for direct targeting of the ventral intermediate nucleus using magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound
Direct Vim targeting for MRgFUS is feasible for individual cases with the use of WMnMPRAGE MRI sequences. The use of lesion conformality adapts well to the anatomical and spatial distribution of Vim. Further studies will be needed to confirm the safety profile of this approach and correlate with clinical outcomes.
