Application progresses of MRI in high intensity focused ultrasound ablation of uterine fibroids / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been widely used in the treatment of uterine fibroids, and the efficacy is exact. MRI has high soft tissue resolution and obvious advantages in gynecological solid tumor detection. Multi-parameter MR imaging technology has an irreplaceable position in preoperative planning, intraoperative real-time monitoring and postoperative efficacy evaluation. The progresses of MRI parameters before, during and after HIFU ablation of uterine fibroids were reviewed in this article.
