Patient Stories
Meet some of the patients whose lives have been changed by focused ultrasound technology.
Lord Julian Fellowes | Essential Tremor
Lord Julian Fellowes, Oscar-winning screenwriter and acclaimed creator of Downton Abbey and The Gilded Age, recently revealed that he underwent focused ultrasound therapy to treat his essential tremor (ET).

After he was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer, Paul’s doctors recommended a prostatectomy. He reached out to another physician and found out he was a candidate for focused ultrasound. After a successful procedure, Paul has turned his diagnosis into a campaigning charity, Prost8 UK.
Leonardo and Cesare | Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome
An Italian couple, Martina and Claudio, were expecting twins in 2023 and learned that there was a concerning discrepancy in the size of the two foetuses. A focused ultrasound clinical trial corrected the twin-twin transfusion syndrome, and the boys were born healthy.
