Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) of Uterine Fibroids

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

The purpose of this study is to gain additional information regarding use of Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) for uterine fibroid characterization. In this study, the investigators will use a new noninvasive technology, MRE, to further characterize the elastic properties of the uterine fibroids. To date, very little is known concerning how the tissue composition of the uterine fibroid may affect its treatment with Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS).

In this study, the investigators will use a new noninvasive technology, magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), to further characterize the elastic properties of the uterine fibroids. This information will be gathered during routine magnetic resonance imaging for symptomatic uterine fibroids. It is known that some fibroids with increased T2-signal on Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) can be more difficult to treat.

This information will be gathered during routine magnetic resonance imaging for symptomatic uterine fibroids.
