Mri- guided ultrasound therapy for fibroids?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Question: Mri- guided ultrasound therapy for fibroids?
My wife has a 15 cm fibroid. She is 50 years old and just graduated from engineering school. She would like to get a job, but a hysterectomy will put her out of the market for longer than she’d like. Uterine Arterial Embolization is not an option since she is allergic to iodine used in the procedure.

My question, has anyone had MRI-guided ultrasound therapy for this condition? How id it work? Any leads on where it might be performed (other than Mt. Sinai) in the Northeast?

Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by JosephI did not have this procedure (I had hysterectomy) but I wonder if you read these sites:
