Ultrasound can penetrate deep into tissues and interact with human tissue via thermal and
mechanical mechanisms. The ability to focus an ultrasound beam and its energy onto …

Uterine fibroids (also known as leiomyomas or myomas) are common clonal neoplasms of
the uterus. Fibroids have both smooth muscle and fibroblast components, in addition to a …

Uterine fibroids affect a wide cross-section of the population, with prevalence, symptom
severity, and overall disease burden generally higher among black women, likely due to …

BACKGROUND Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are highly prevalent benign smooth muscle
tumors of the uterus. In the USA, the lifetime risk for women developing uterine leiomyomas …

Uterine fibroids occur in approximately 50% of women over the age of 40 years, and an
estimated 50% of those are symptomatic. Menorrhagia is the most common symptom and …

Objectives To compare uterine-sparing treatment options for fibroids in terms of
reintervention risk and quality of life. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis according …

Purpose Reevaluation of the effectiveness of Magnetic Resonance-High Intensity Focused
Ultrasound (MR-HIFU) therapy for uterine fibroids by excluding studies with restrictive …

Objective To compare the re-intervention rates of myomectomy, uterine artery embolization
(UAE) and magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) for uterine …

Background Magnetic resonance–guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) is a
noninvasive uterine-preserving treatment alternative to hysterectomy for women with …

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) research has largely been focused on women over 40
years, yet women of reproductive age undergo UAE without any increased morbidity. Some …
