چکیده
Methods 373 women with symptomatic uterine fibroids were screened with MRI exams with and without contrast utilizing T2 coronal and axial, T2 fat suppressed sagittal, T1 axial precontrast images, and post contrast fat saturated images in 3 planes. Uterine masses were classified by their intensity on T2 weighted images relative to normal myometrium (hypointense, isointense, or hyperintense as well as tissue homogeneity or heterogeneity). The enhancement pattern was also categorized as homogenous or inhomogeneous. Any extra-uterine masses were also noted as well as any other incidental pelvic findings.
