Objective:To investigate the high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment of uterine fibroids by MRI scan perfor-mance.Methods:34 cases of uterine fibroid(total 1of 45 fibroids)were observed
Plain and enhanced inspections were pre-formed by MRI preoperatively and postoperatively.Results:Preoperative average volume of 45 fibroids was 50.81cm3(1.09 ̄534.35cm3).After treatment the volume reduced by 28.12% on average(t=3.006
P<0.01).After HIFU
T1WI myometrium sig-nal on the value increased by 34.07 on average(t=-5.283
P<0.01);T2WI myometrium signal on the value increased by 4.65 on average(t=-0.658
P>0.05).The part of no enhancement was manifested the low signal surrounding fibroids on T2WI
was mani-fested the high signal around fibroids and the lower signal on the center on T1WI.Conclusion:MRI can be used to evaluate uterine fibroids for the blood volume and change after HIFU treatment
