SIS is highly sensitive and specific test in the diagnosis of uterine polyps, submucous uterine fibroids, uterine anomalies and intrauterine adhesions (as part of Asherman's syndrome), and can be used as a screening tool for subfertile women prior to IVF treatment.

Sonalleve MR-HIFU is a medical system developed by Philips Healthcare for the treatment of uterine fibroids without surgery. The system uses non-invasive high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) guided by magnetic resonance (MR), hence the acronym MR-HIFU. The procedure involves volumetric heating of fibroids with real-time feedback. [1]
Most fibroids do not require treatment unless they are causing symptoms. After menopause, fibroids shrink, and it is unusual for them to cause problems. Uterine fibroids that cause symptoms can be treated by: medication to control symptoms (i.e., symptomatic management) medication aimed at shrinking tumors; ultrasound fibroid destruction
Next, she’ll do a physical exam utilizing an ultrasound machine to look at things like the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus to check for potential complications such as fibroids.
The first step in testing for endometrial cancer is usually an ultrasound. But new research suggests this test may miss cases in Black women, delaying diagnoses. ... Fibroids are common and most ...
Arcuate uterus with fibroids seen on MRI. A transvaginal ultrasound can reveal the condition. Helpful techniques to investigate the uterine structure are transvaginal ultrasonography and sonohysterography, hysterosalpingography, MRI, and hysteroscopy. More recently 3-D ultrasonography has been advocated as an excellent non-invasive method to ...
These techniques are known as Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) [32] [33] and Ultrasound guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (USgFUS) respectively. [1] [34] MRgFUS is a 3D imaging technique which features high soft tissue contrast and provides information about temperature, thus allowing to monitor ablation.
Leiomyoma enucleated from a uterus. External surface on left; cut surface on right. Micrograph of a small, well-circumscribed colonic leiomyoma arising from the muscularis mucosae and showing fascicles of spindle cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm and elongated, cigar-shaped nuclei Immunohistochemistry for β-catenin in uterine leiomyoma, which is negative as there is only staining of cytoplasm ...
