MRI shows positive post-treatment results in fibroids, leiomyomas
As uterine artery embolization (UAE) gains ground as a mainstream treatment option, imaging specialists are staying one step ahead by investigating ways to assess post-UAE patients. Researchers have successfully turned to MRI to keep track of both UAE and uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) results up to six months after the procedure.
