Figures & data
Figure 1. Transverse view of MR images obtained before and 1 day after HIFU treatment. (A). A pre-HIFU T2 weighted image showed multiple nodules with the largest one at a 6 cm protruding into the uterine cavity; (B). A post-HIFU T2 weighted image showed the signal intensity of the largest fibroid decreased; (C). A pre-HIFU contrast MR image showed hyperenhancement of the fibroids; (D). A post-HIFU contrast MR image showed no perfusion in the largest fibroid. The largest fibroid was completely ablated.
