Magnetic resonance imaging-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRI-guided HIFU) is an effective noninvasive treatment option for symptomatic uterine fibroids. However, tissue characteristics of uterine fibroids and technical limitations can limit the patient population that can benefit from this therapy. In this article, we present our literature review focusing on the influential clinical factors that might reduce the risk of an unsuccessful MRI-guided HIFU treatment outcome of uterine fibroids.
磁共振引导高强度聚焦超声(MRI 引导 HIFU)是一种有效的治疗有症状的子宫肌瘤的非侵入性治疗选择。然而,子宫肌瘤的组织特征和技术限制可能会限制受益于这种治疗的患者人群。在本文中,我们进行了文献回顾,重点关注可能降低 MRI 引导 HIFU 治疗子宫肌瘤不成功风险的有影响的临床因素。
