MRI-guided Technique Treats Fibroids 60% Faster
Manual interleaved MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a new MRI-guided technique that safely treats fibroids in 60% less time than the conventional one; according to a new study done by a research team from the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, MA.

"Basically, it allows the procedure to be performed faster--about 60% faster. The conventional method permits more than twice as many sonications can be performed during the same three-hour treatment," said George A. holland, MD, lead author of the study.

"Using this technique, women with fibroids can be treated faster and women that would not be considered for the treatment because of the size of their fibroid can now also be treated," he added.


The study results have been presented at the American Roentgen Ray Society Annual Meeting in Vancouver, BC on May 1, 2006.
