MR imaging-guided focused ultrasound is feasible and safe for uterine leiomyomas.(Brief Article)
2003 MAY 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- MR imaging-guided focused ultrasound is feasible and safe for uterine leiomyomas.
According to a study from the United States, "The feasibility and safety of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery for uterine leiomyomas is reported.
"Sequential sonications were delivered to nine targets. Temperature-sensitive phase-difference MR imaging monitored the location of the focus and measured tissue temperature elevations, ensuring therapeutic dose," wrote C.M.C. Tempany and colleagues, Harvard University, Brigham & Women's Hospital.
"MR images and hysterectomy specimens were evaluated. Six leiomyomas received full therapeutic doses, and 98.5% of the sonications were visualized. MR thermometry was successful in all sonications and cases," the researchers stated.
"Focal necrotic lesions were seen in all cases at MR, and five were pathologically confirmed. MR imaging-guided focused ...
