Germany-based Insightec and Israel-based Siemens Healthineers entered into a strategic agreement to develop compatibility between Insightec's Exablate Neuro device and Siemans' clinical MRI systems.
Exablate Neuro is an ultrasound device intended to treat essential tremor in patients who do not respond to conventional medication.
Siemans' MR imaging technology will provide patient-specific treatment planning and continuous temperature monitoring to allow clinicians to assess treatment outcomes in real-time during Exablate Neuro procedures.
"Our agreement with Siemens Healthineers will allow us to significantly expand Exablate Neuro's market presence. Siemens has embraced our technology and together we will bring our therapy to significantly more patients and providers," said Maurice R. Ferré, MD, Insightec's CEO and chairman of the board.
