- If symptoms return within 12 months after the first MRgFUS treatment at our facility, we consider the possibility of a free repeat procedure based on available resources. We weigh the patient’s safety and the expected effect. We are interested in long-term results; the recurrence rate and outcomes of repeat treatments have been analyzed and officially published in a research article, as well as in a research book “MRI-guided focused ultrasound in neurology “.
The cost of the operation consists of:

- prices of the operating table from the world’s only manufacturer (monopolist)
- consumables, especially a membrane sized for the patient’s head with an MRI coil
- expenses for renting premises, electricity, water, and utilities
- the cost of work by a team of rare specialists who have studied this their entire lives
For comparison, abroad the price of such a procedure ranges from 18,000, 18,000 Euro to 40,000 dollars.
