Negli anni passati le applicazioni non invasive degli ultrasuoni focalizzati guidati da risonanza magnetica per il trattamento dei disordini neurologici sono state osta- colate da limiti tecnici oggi finalmente superati. In Italia, nel corso del 2015, sono stati effettuati i primi trattamenti utilizzando per la prima volta al mondo un comune scanner di risonanza magnetica da 1.5T. I risultati a oggi ottenuti con questa nuova metodica e le sue future possibili appli- cazioni sono molto promettenti e aprono la strada verso nuove opzioni terapeutiche, sicure ed efficaci, un tempo impensabili.

Abstract

In past years non-invasive clinical applications of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound for the treatment of neurological disorders have been hampered by technical limitations that today have been finally overcome. In 2015, for the first time in the world, the very first treatments have been performed in Italy by the use of an affordable 1.5T magnetic resonance unit. The clinical results obtained to date and all the future possible applications are very promising and pave the way towards safe and effective treatment options once unthinkable.
