Ep 63: Dr. Suzanne LeBlang – Focused Ultrasound Technology and Alzheimer’s Treatment (part 1)


Listen Later

A ground-breaking, but still experimental non-invasive procedure for treating those newly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, has attracted widespread media attention. Featured on CBS 60 Minutes, focused ultrasound can target and treat tissue deep within the brain, enhance drug delivery, and facilitate the removal of amyloid plaques without the need for surgery. Dr. Suzanne LeBlang, Director of Clinical Relations at Focused Ultrasound Foundation (www.fusfoundation.org), discusses this new non-invasive technology with BrainStorm host Meryl Comer that could transform care and quality of life for patients suffering Parkinson’s to Alzheimer’s.  You won’t want to miss this episode!
