Because it is noninvasive, MR-guided focused ultrasound surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis. The patient requires only minimal sedation, experiences only slight discomfort, recovers much more quickly, and runs a much lower risk of complications and infection. Elderly or seriously ill patients who would not be able to withstand the rigors of invasive surgery should more easily tolerate MR-guided focused ultrasound procedures.
