HAIFA, Israel, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- InSightec, a world leader in MR-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) is announcing today that it is a proud sponsor of this year's European Society of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery Congress.

ESSFN is designed to create an active platform to exchange and discuss the latest research results and concepts in the field of functional neurosurgery with topics covering the treatment of movement disorders, psychiatric disorders, pain, epilepsy, and other indications.

InSightec is going to exhibit at the event its highly innovative MR-guided Focused Ultrasound Neurosurgery solution for treating tremor and other neuro-functional disorders.

InSightec fully believes that MRgFUS is a clinical solution that is revolutionizing treatment by creating new options for tens of thousands of patients that can benefit from a completely non-invasive approach. This high-precision solution combines the strong advantages of direct intro-operative visualization of the region treated (MRI) with the ability to non-invasively assess the clinical outcome and possible side-effects before making the final treatment decision. Since it requires no incision and no hospitalization, it is much less intimidating to patients than traditional open surgery. Clinical evidence is accumulating and showing very encouraging efficacy and safety profile.

InSightec is committed to partnering with leading physicians and institutions to develop and validate this incisionless brain surgery initially in functional neurosurgery and ultimately in other neurosurgical applications.

We invite you to visit us at the InSightec booth #11 to learn more about our unique for treating tremor and other neuro-functional disorders.
