A man who suffered from a bad tremor in his right hand needed a brain operation to remove the cause of the tremor in his brain. Instead of the traditional way of doing this by opening the skull, a team of doctors used a techniques to focus strong ultrasound waves to destroy the tissue in the brain that caused the faulty electric signals. This meant to remove the tremor without any invasive treatment.
