Exablate Neuro Focused Ultrasound Platform gets a nod from CDSCO

Insightec, a global healthcare firm, has announced that the Exablate 4000, an incisionless neurosurgical platform, has obtained market approval from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), which is part of India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
