Functional impact of subthalamotomy by magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound in Parkinson’s disease: a hybrid PET/MR study of resting-state brain metabolism

Purpose Subthalamotomy using magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) has become a potential treatment option for the cardinal features of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of MRgFUS-subthalamotomy on brain metabolism using different scale levels.
