The neurosurgery project introduces Transcranial Magnetic Resonance guided focused ultrasound into clinical medicine for neurosurgical treatment of brain diseases in a fully non-invasive manner. This research study will target non-invasive functional neurosurgery starting with neurogenic pain and extending into other areas such as Parikinson, epilepsy and more.
This study is being conducted at University Children's Hospital in Zurich.

The research group of the MR-Center at the University Children's Hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, consists of graduated and post-graduated scientists in the fields of medicine, physics, biochemistry, neurobiology, neurophysiology and psychology.
As a division of the Children’s Hospital and partner of the Department of Diagnostic Imaging our research group is active in investigating various aspects of normal and deviant development of the human brain. By means of various MR modalities (structural and functional imaging as well as MR spectroscopy) different aspects of the development of brain functions in children are targeted. A goal thereby is not only the description of normal developmental processes but also and first of all the transfer of the acquired knowledge into the daily clinical diagnostics and patient care.
