Abstract

 In today’s world, technological advancements in the medical field have revolutionized healthcare, dramatically enhancing diagnosis, treatment, and patient care. For example, AI and ML algorithms can now precisely analyze and observe medical images. The quality of life of individuals with Essential Tremors (ET) is significantly affected, and Focused Ultrasound (FUS) has become a viable noninvasive therapeutic option. However, precision targeting and customized therapy regimens are necessary for maximizing FUS treatment for ET. To improve the effectiveness of FUS in ET therapy, this work investigates the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). In order to assess patient data, enhance imaging precision, and customize therapy parameters, we implemented cutting-edge AI algorithms. According to research, utilizing AI and ML in FUS can transform ET management and provide a more efficient and personalized treatment choice. The creation of real-time AI tools and additional validation will be the main goals of future research. For instance, imaging processes can be performed using computer-assisted interpretation without human intervention and in a more accurate way. The quality of life of people affected by Essential Tremors (ET) is significantly low, and thus, Focused Ultrasound (FUS) has emerged as a promising non-invasive treatment. However, precision targeting and bespoke therapeutic approaches must be employed to bridge any resultant gaps in FUS treatment for ET. This work investigates ways in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) can be employed to enhance the efficacy of FUS treatment in ET therapy.
