Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine predictive factors in the pelvic magnetic resonance in the response of arterial embolization of uterine leiomyoma.

Detailed description

This study followed symptomatic premenopausal women with uterine leiomyoma who underwent uterine artery embolization (UAE). Treatment was accompanied by magnetic resonance imaging of both the volume of the entire uterus and the leiomyomas one month before and six months after UAE. This patients were treated at the Uterine Leiomyoma Sector of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medicine College of the University of São Paulo. In this study, the investigators examined 179 leiomyomas in 50 patients.

Conditions

• Exposure to Magnetic Field
• Uterine Leiomyoma

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Magnetic Resonance Image	The leiomyomas were evaluated individually. MR was used to evaluate morphology: the radiological dimension(s) of the leiomyoma and uterus and the volume. The number of leiomyoma fibroids was determined, and their location in the myometrium. Perfusion and the characterization of the T2 signal were also evaluated.
