Miami Saturday Session 8: Neurology

Exploring new frontiers in neurology through focused ultrasound innovation, this session highlights one of the most promising non-invasive treatment technologies in modern neuroscience. Dr. Vibhor Krishna opens with the design and structure of a clinical trial evaluating MRI-guided focused ultrasound, or HIFU, for epilepsy, a condition where treatment options for medication-resistant cases remain limited. Dr. Arif Dalvi follows with a look at emerging applications of HIFU for Alzheimer’s disease, an area of research that could eventually offer new non-surgical pathways for addressing neurodegenerative conditions. Moderated by Prof. Manish Ranjan, the discussion situates both presentations within the broader context of how focused ultrasound is expanding beyond its earlier applications toward more complex, chronic neurological conditions. Neurologists, neurosurgeons, and researchers working in non-invasive treatment technology will find this session especially relevant, as will clinicians managing patients with treatment-resistant epilepsy or early Alzheimer’s disease. The session offers a clear, research-grounded look at how focused ultrasound continues to open new possibilities in neurological care without the risks associated with traditional surgical intervention.
