MR Elastography Parameters Impact on MR-HIFU Efficacy in Uterine Fibroids
Sponsor: University Hospital, Bordeaux
Summary
Magnetic resonance (MR)-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for fibroids is an outpatient approach for controlling symptom with an excellent safety record. It is important to exclude in advance patients who would not benefit from this treatment. For that purpose this study assesses the influence of fibroid elasticity and diffusion on ablation efficiency during treatment by MR-HIFU

Interventions
Myoma elastography
The standard pre-therapeutic assessment includes a pelvic US to eliminate the presence of calcification of fibroids. If this absence is confirmed, the elasticity of uterine myoma (by ARFI method) will be measured. The standard pre-therapeutic MRI performed allows to classify and measure the myoma in order to determine if it is accessible for HIFU treatment. MRI elastography sequence with the Resoundant® system will be performed during this exam.
