The company is known for its innovative approach to treating various medical conditions using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided focused ultrasound.

History[edit]

Insightec was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Tirat Carmel, Israel. The company was established with the goal of advancing the use of focused ultrasound technology in medical treatments. Over the years, Insightec has developed several applications for its technology, particularly in the fields of neurology and oncology.

Technology[edit]

The core technology developed by Insightec is known as Exablate Neuro, which is used for treating essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, and other neurological disorders. This system uses MRI to guide focused ultrasound waves to specific areas of the brain, allowing for precise targeting without the need for invasive surgery.

Focused Ultrasound[edit]

Focused ultrasound is a non-invasive therapeutic technology that uses ultrasonic energy to target tissue deep in the body without incisions. The energy is focused on a small area, causing the tissue to heat and coagulate, effectively treating the targeted area.

MRI Guidance[edit]

Magnetic resonance imaging is used in conjunction with focused ultrasound to provide real-time imaging of the treatment area. This allows for precise targeting and monitoring of the treatment process, ensuring safety and effectiveness.

Applications[edit]

Insightec's technology has been applied in various medical fields, including:

Research and Development[edit]
