Transcranial HIFU: relying on MRI
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is employed for non-invasive treatment of an increasing number of diseases. Using HIFU to treat brain lesions, for example, could avoid the need for craniotomy. And though transcranial HIFU was once limited by aberrations induced when the ultrasound beam traversed the skull, the use of multi-element transducers now enables a sharp focus even through the skull bone.
