The Queen Square functional neurosurgery team has reached a significant milestone, receiving formal certification from Insightec to perform MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatments.

Insightec’s certification process ensures the highest standards of clinical practice, requiring all surgeons to complete comprehensive in-person training and supervised procedures before approval. The Queen Square team’s successful certification reflects their dedication to advancing innovative, non-invasive therapies for patients with movement disorders and other neurological conditions.

The certified team includes Professor Ludvic Zrinzo, Mr Harith Akram, Ms Marie Krueger, and Mr Jonathan Hyam.

“This certification represents a major step forward in expanding access to incisionless brain surgery in the UK,” said Ayden Fonseca, Clinical Applications Specialist. “It’s a privilege to work alongside such an experienced and innovative team, and to see the benefits this technology is already bringing to patients.”

The certification underscores Queen Square’s position as a leading centre for advanced neurosurgical care, combining world-class expertise with state-of-the-art technology.
