Expanding the treatment envelope for brain therapy: simulation models and head phantoms

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Thermal therapy is currently limited to central areas of the brain in order to maximize the antenna gain between the outer cortex and the target. So far, clinical applications have been limited to thalamotomies for neuropathic pain, essential tremor and Parkinsonian tremor. We developed numerical simulations and head phantoms in order to investigate the possibility to target more eccentric targets in the brain in silico and in vitro.
