MRI-guided focused ultrasound therapy for leiomyoma can result in nonperfused volume ratio and shrinkage that exceed those in previous clinical trials because the treatment guidelines have been relaxed to allow a greater amount of tissue ablation. The results suggest that a larger nonperfused volume ratio can be achieved, resulting in greater shrinkage and improved relief of symptoms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
