A new approach to neurosurgery: Dr. Jeffrey Elias at TEDxCharlottesville 2013
As Director of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery at the University of Virginia, W. Jeffrey Elias, M.D. has led a number of research investigations, resulting in innovative uses of image-guided interventions to treat debilitating neurological conditions. In 2011, his team became the first in the world to successfully treat a person with disabling tremor using focused ultrasound that was guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This procedure and subsequent clinical trials have resulted in an outpouring around the globe of investigations using ultrasound interventions to treat disorders of the brain. The past decade has seen advances in ultrasound technology so that acoustic energy can now be safely and precisely delivered thru the intact human skull to reach the deepest regions of the brain.
Stemming in part from the influence of his father, a neurologist, Dr. Elias developed the goal of using less invasive surgical techniques to treat chronic, neurological disorders. For the past 12 years, his practice has specialized in using precise, stereotactic techniques and brain stimulation to treat diseases such as Parkinson's disease, tremor, and epilepsy. He has been awarded the UVA School of Medicine's Excellence in Clinical Medicine Award for the clinical care of patients. An Associate Professor in Neurological Surgery & Neurology, he serves on the editorial board for the Journal of Neurosurgery, has authored over 50 scientific manuscripts, and has received over 2 million dollars of research funding. This focused ultrasound project is sponsored by The Focused Ultrasound Surgery Foundation, a non-profit organization, started in Charlottesville to promote research, education, and the adoption of the technology.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
