Improved Treatment Response Following Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Guided Focused Ultrasound for Lumbar Facet Joint Pain

Magnetic resonance imaging–guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a noninvasive modality that allows for precise tissue ablation with sparing of surrounding structures. Early reports of the use of MRgFUS for the treatment of facet joint osteoarthritis are promising. We present a case of facet joint p...
