Magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound ablation of uterine fibroids: early clinical experience.
TLDR
MRIgFUS ablation is a safe, effective treatment for nonobese patients with symptomatic fibroids that show low signal intensity on T2-weighted images and may be needed with a short-term follow-up.Abstract:
Purpose
The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of magnetic resonance (MRI)-guided focused ultrasound (MRIgFUS) ablation for uterine fibroids and to identify the candidates for this treatment.read more
