Access personalized MRgFUS care using advanced medical technology, supported by expert specialists and dedicated international patient services.
University Hospital offers advanced MRgFUS (Magnetic Resonance-Guided Focused Ultrasound) using modern image-guided treatment technology and internationally accepted treatment protocols. Established in 1842, the SAC hospital is located in Basel, Switzerland and has 773 beds, providing comprehensive care for local and international patients.
MRgFUS is a non-invasive treatment that combines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with focused ultrasound to precisely target selected areas of tissue. The MRI provides real-time anatomical and temperature monitoring, while focused ultrasound delivers concentrated acoustic energy to create controlled thermal effects in the treatment area. Depending on the clinical indication, MRgFUS may be used for conditions such as certain uterine fibroids, essential tremor, or other selected disorders. Patient suitability is assessed through clinical evaluation and MRI before treatment.
