Focused ultrasound capsulotomy: predicting the probability of successful lesioning based on skull morphology
SDR, skull thickness, and angle of incidence significantly influenced the likelihood of successful MRgFUS-AC lesioning. Incorporating these three parameters into a predictive tool can dramatically reduce technical failure rates and may be especially informative in patients with an SDR between 0.35 and 0.55.
