MR Elastography Parameters Impact on MR-HIFU Efficacy in Uterine Fibroids

Brief Summary

Magnetic resonance (MR)-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for fibroids is an outpatient approach for controlling symptom with an excellent safety record. It is important to exclude in advance patients who would not benefit from this treatment. For that purpose this study assesses the influence of fibroid elasticity and diffusion on ablation efficiency during treatment by MR-HIFU
