Figures & data
Table 1. Inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Figure 1. Patient number 13, 36 years old. (A–C) MR images before HIFU treatment; (D–F) MR images after HIFU treatment. A sagittal T2-weighted image (A) demonstrates anterior wall fibroids (triangle) that are almost hypointense on T2-weighted scans; (C) is a diffusion-weighted image. Fascial swelling has a stripe-like high-intensity signal (long arrow).
