MR Imaging‐Guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound in the Treatment of Neurologic Disease: Current Applications and Future Directions
Learning Objective: To provide a comprehensive review of the existing literature on current neurologic applications of MR imaging‐guided high-intensity focused ultrasound and the relevant anatomic targets for each disease entity, discuss investigative applications and future directions for MR imaging‐guided high-intensity focused ultrasound, and increase awareness among providers to promote safe informed use of this relatively newer technology
