While medical treatments exist, approximately 50% of patients have tremor that is refractory to medication or experience intolerable medication side effects. Magnetic resonance\u2013guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy is an option for these patients and while incisionless, it is still invasive, although less so than other surgical treatments such as deep brain stimulation and radiofrequency thalamotomy. Despite MRgFUS being FDA-approved since 2016, there is still no current consensus on the best approaches for targeting, imaging, and outcome measurement. A 2-day workshop held by the Focused Ultrasound Foundation in September of 2023 convened experts and critical stakeholders in the field to share their knowledge and experiences. The goals of the workshop were to determine the optimal target location within the thalamus and compare best practices for localizing the target and tracking patient outcomes. This paper summarizes the current landscape, important questions, and discussions that will help direct future treatments to improve patient care and outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2024.6.focus2494","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,1]],"date-time":"2024-09-01T09:08:36Z","timestamp":1725181716000},"page":"E3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Brain targeting for focused ultrasound essential tremor ablation: proceedings from the 2023 Focused Ultrasound Foundation workshop"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Melissa M.
