Overview

An MRI is not helpful in diagnosing the most common causes of tremor, but it can help diagnose some less common causes of tremor including cerebellar lesion, stroke, multiple sclerosis , and Wilsons disease. It may help determine if the tremor is the result of a structural defect or degeneration of the brain. Magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a noninvasive focused ultrasound ablative thalamotomy procedure used to treat essential tremor.
