Computer-assisted Image-guided Interventions
Prof. Dr. Andreas Melzer
In cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Cognitive and Neurosciences and the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering (IBMT) in St. Ingbert, the possibilities of the application of Focused Ultrasound (FUS) for neuromodulation and neurostimulation are investigated.
The aim is to use MR-guided Light Intensity Focused Ultrasound to non-invasively modulate certain areas of the brain in order to treat e. g. strokes, addictions and chronic obsessive-compulsive disorder.
