Vaginal Pessary for Uterine Repositioning during High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation of Uterine Leiomyomas.
In order to ensure safe magnetic resonance-guided, high-intensity focused, ultrasound ablation of uterine leiomyomas, the ultrasound beam path should be free of intervening scar and bowel. Pre-treatment MRI of a 9-cm long and 7.7-cm wide leiomyomatous uterus in a 39-year-old woman with menorrhagia and abdominopelvic pain initially demonstrated a focused ultrasound treatment path without a bowel...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) compared with abdominal hysterectomy for treatment of uterine leiomyomas.
OBJECTIVES To compare women undergoing magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) to a group of contemporaneously recruited women undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy. Patient demographics, safety parameters, quality of life outcomes and disability measures are reported. METHODS One hundred and nine women were recruited in seven centers for MRgFUS treatment and 83 women who unde...
متن کاملSafety of MR-guided focused ultrasound treatment of pedunculated subserosal uterine leiomyomas
Background: There has previously been a concern about whether it is safe to use minimally invasive methods to treat pedunculated subserosal uterine leiomyomas. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the safety of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) ablation of pedunculated subserosal uterine leiomyomas. Methods: All cases of MRgFUS ablations performed at our institution from ...
متن کاملMR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound for noninvasive cancer treatment
Magnetic resonance (MR)-high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is an innovative, noninvasive tumour ablation technique. MR imaging and focused ultrasound are combined allowing real-time anatomic guidance and temperature mapping during treatment. Recently, the volumetric ablation approach has been introduced in order to reduce treatment length and provide more homogeneous tumour ablation. Afte...
متن کاملI-49: Safely Extending Focused Ultrasound Surgery for Uterine Leiomyomas to Women Who Desire Future Pregnancies
Background: Focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) is a novel noninvasive surgery that results in localized tissue necrosis without any breech of the skin or other body orifice. MRI guidance provides anatomic visualization and real time thermal feedback. Our goal is to safely extend this therapy to women who desire future pregnancies. Materials and Methods: We have undertaken 4 multisite trials of FU...
