What is "exablate"

Exablate is a family of non-invasive medical devices manufactured by Insightec, a company headquartered in Haifa, Israel with regional offices in USA (Dallas, Texas), China, Japan and Europe. The Exablate and Exablate Neuro use MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound ( MRgFUS) technology, which combines focused ultrasound with Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Focused ultrasound is capable of ablating tissue inside the body without the need for an incision. The MRI is used to visualize anatomy, aid in planning the treatment and monitoring temperatures in real-time during the treatment. This thermal feedback allows the physician to control and adjust the treatment in real-time to ensure that the targeted tissue is completely ablated without impacting adjacent healthy tissue.
