14 patients with uterine fibroids received ultrasoundtreatment and subsequent MR imaging using three different MRtechniques: conventional MRI, MRI with contrast material, and DWI MRI.Results ...

During treatment, the physician uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to see inside the body to deliver the treatment directly to the fibroid. MRI scans identify the tissue in the body to treat ...

Doctors are using ultrasound instead of surgery to treat uterine fibroids, non-cancerous tumors that can develop in a woman's uterus and cause pain, discomfort and bleeding if they grow too large.

It uses magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, to pinpoint the location of the fibroids and high-intensity ultrasound waves to destroy, or ablate, the fibroid tissue. Keller was back to work the next ...

This new approach, thought to be the first worldwide to treat fibroids using a combination of lasers and MRI, allows women to be treated under local anesthetic as outpatients. After MRI-guided ...

But she knew she wasn’t pregnant, and she had a healthy lifestyle. An MRI revealed that she had multiple uterine fibroids — noncancerous growths in the uterus — the size of cantaloupes.
