MRI-based Thermal Dosimetry and Diffusion-weighted Imaging of MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound Thermal Ablation of Uterine Fibroids

摘要

PURPOSETo investigate tissue changes observed in diffusion – weighted imaging (DWI) and its relation to contrast imaging, thermal dosimetry, and changes in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) after MRI – guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) of uterine fibroids.
