Abstract
This review investigates focused ultrasound for treating neuro-oncological diseases as an emerging treatment modality. The technique is based on focused ultrasound waves guided by MRI. By using high or low-frequency waves, thermoablation of smaller tissue volumes centrally in the brain or a safe, temporary opening of the blood-brain barrier can be carried out for better penetration of chemotherapy. Numerous studies on neuro-oncological treatments are ongoing, signaling increasing popularity for the technique in the near future.
