MRI-Guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
presented by
Neurosurgeon Hyun Joo Park, MD
To balance the presentation on Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) at our last meeting, our December meeting will focus on MRI-guided high intensity focused ultrasound.
Sometimes referred to as HIFU or Neuravive, high intensity focused ultrasound is a noninvasive, incisionless procedure that uses focused ultrasonic waves to create a small, targeted lesion deep within the brain to “disarm” or deactivate the hyperactive spot responsible for tremors.
Hyun Joo Park, MD is a fellowship trained functional & skull base neurosurgeon at Hartford Hospital and faculty at the University of Connecticut. Her interests include stereotactic & functional neurosurgery, neurosurgical oncology, skull base, and minimally invasive spine surgery. She also does medical illustrations.
