UT Health San Antonio Multispecialty and Research Hospital Hosts Open House for Focused Ultrasound
The UT Health San Antonio Multispecialty and Research Hospital recently hosted an open house showcasing MR-guided focused ultrasound.
Attendees had the opportunity to learn how this incision-less therapy is transforming care for patients with drug-resistant essential tremor and tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease.
The event featured a close look at the advanced 1,024-element transducer technology and highlighted the therapy’s potential for immediate tremor improvement.
Dr. Alexander Papanastassiou (Neurosurgery) and Dr. Okeanis Vaou (Neurology) were on hand to answer questions alongside representatives from Insightec, the manufacturer of this specialized equipment.
Advancements like these are helping UT Health expand treatment options and improve quality of life for patients living with movement disorders.
