Washington University in St. Louis named Focused Ultrasound Center of Excellence
Summary
Washington University in St. Louis was designated as a Focused Ultrasound Center of Excellence by the Focused Ultrasound Foundation, recognizing their leadership in transcranial FUS research spanning essential tremor, Parkinson's, brain tumor treatment, and blood-brain barrier opening. WashU houses one of the largest FUS research programs in the US, with multiple active clinical trials and a dedicated FUS suite for simultaneous MRI-guided treatment and imaging.
Why it matters
Centers of Excellence designations accelerate clinical adoption by creating reference centers where physicians can train, observe cases, and receive support for establishing FUS programs at their own institutions. WashU's designation will drive significant referral volume and position them as a training hub for the growing FUS neurology market.
