The study concerns a new imaging technique called FAT1, developed by consultant neurosurgeon Mr. Harith Akram, which is designed to improve the accuracy and outcomes of MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatment for patients suffering from essential tremor. This technique, which fuses multiple MRI scan types, aims to overcome the difficulty of visualising the small target area in the brain (the Vim nucleus) during the non-invasive procedure.
