Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and initial effectiveness of ExAblate thermal ablation of a subcortical focal epileptic target area in the brain of patients suffering from medication-refractory epilepsy, using the ExAblate transcranial system to produce multiple sonications targeted in the lesion of interest. The investigators will establish the feasibility and collect data to establish the basic safety of this type of treatment as the basis for later studies that will evaluate its full clinical efficacy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and ablation efficacy of the ExAblate UF V2 System when treating symptomatic uterine fibroids. The ExAblate System is a medical device that involves a focused ultrasound system and an MRI scanner. ExAblate delivers a pulse of focused ultrasound energy, or sonication, to the targeted tissue. In this particular study, the targeted tissue is uterine fibroids. Each sonication is used to heat small spots in the fibroid much like a magnifying glass can be used to focus light to heat a spot. The heat created kills a portion of the fibroid ...
