Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients diagnosed with a symptomatic uterine fibroid (based on anamnesis, physical examination and vaginal ultrasonography), eligible for MR-HIFU treatment.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Post menopausal patients - Pregnant patients - Calcified fibroids - Severe abdominal obesity - MRI contra indications - Funaki type 3 uterine fibroid - Uterine fibroid close to sciatic nerve of sacrum, interpostion of bowel or ovary. - Uterine fibroid diameter 10 cm - Distance skin - uterine fibroid > 10 cm
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study endpoint is the predictive value of 3 MRI determinants for a clinical successful treatment. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - To correlate these MRI parameters with histopathology. - The correlation between the non-perfused-volume (treated tissue volume) measured without the use of a contrast agent (with new MRI sequences) versus the gold standard (measurements after administration of a contrast agent). - Measuring the differences between tissue stiffness of the uterine fibroid before and after MR-HIFU treatment. To correlate these findings with the MR Imaging to predict treatment outcome and thereby maybe replace the follow-up MRI in the future. - Treatment outcomes such as treatment time, thermal dose, number of sonications, NPV-ratio, adverse events. | — |
