MRI-Guided Brain Surgery for Movement Disorders

In this procedure, the provider uses magnetic resonance imaging guidance to deliver focused very high frequency sound waves (ultrasound), which create heat to ablate (destroy) damaged or diseased brain tissue determined to be responsible for movement disorders. The provider may also use a frame with markers placed on the head as a surgical guide (stereotactic system) to allow precise delivery of heat over the lesion, leaving the healthy tissues intact.
