Why are doctors so excited about the potential of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery?
Never before have physicians had access to such a powerful and precise means of treating disease that is also noninvasive, nontoxic, and so widely applicable. As it gains in acceptance, it should eliminate the need for many invasive procedures and most radiation treatments, open the way to entirely new approaches for treating disease, and transform the process of drug delivery. It is based on two groundbreaking core technologies – magnetic resonance imaging and focused ultrasound.
