Abstract
A method is provided for treating neurogenic anorexia nervosa in a subject in need thereof, using a magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound treatment system. The method comprises applying high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to multiple treatment target points on the bilateral anterior limbs of the left and right internal capsules of the subject to regulate the bilateral anterior limbs of the subject; and inducing normalization of weight in the subject.
Claims18
A method for treating neurogenic anorexia nervosa in a subject in need thereof, using a magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatment system, the method comprising:
- applying high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to multiple treatment target points on bilateral anterior limbs of the left and right internal capsules of the subject in a MRgFUS treatment to regulate the bilateral anterior limbs, wherein the multiple treatment target points are determined on-site during the MRgFUS treatment;
- and
- inducing normalization of weight in the subject,
- wherein applying high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to multiple treatment target points on bilateral anterior limbs comprises applying high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to at least four treatment target points on each of the bilateral anterior limbs;
- and
- wherein each treatment target point is positioned using a right anterior superior (RAS) coordinate system in the MRgFUS treatment system;
- and the at least four treatment target points located on each of the bilateral anterior limbs are arranged from bottom to top in the SI direction in the RAS coordinate system.
