Neuroimaging's Role in Three Minimally Invasive Brain Interventions

This RadioGraphics review details how advanced neuroimaging is crucial for planning and guiding high-intensity focused ultrasound, laser interstitial thermal therapy, and deep brain stimulationtreatments for movement disorders and epilepsy.

• The review examines three distinct minimally invasive techniques: high-intensity focused ultrasound, laser interstitial thermal therapy, and deep brain stimulation.
• Neuroimaging is essential for precise anatomic targeting, intra-procedural monitoring, and a paradigm shift away from traditional open neurosurgery.
• Educational content is provided for radiologists and trainees, with supplemental material available online.
