Insightec is the first and only company to bring to market a Focused Ultrasound platform for treating Essential Tremor and Parkinson’s Disease – it’s called Exablate Neuro. Our disruptive technology can deliver up to 1,024 ultrasound waves across the skull to precisely ablate a target deep in the brain. This incision-free treatment is performed in the MRI suite typically on an outpatient basis.1
During a Focused Ultrasound treatment, the treating physician sits at a computer in the MRI control room, using a mouse instead of scalpel, to expertly create a lesion. Treatment is guided by MR imaging for patient-specific treatment planning, real-time thermal feedback, and continuous treatment monitoring.
