The purpose of this study was to correlate
multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR) imaging data on
symptomatic uterine fibroids being considered for
MRgHIFU ablation with fibroid characterization based on
the Funaki Classification scheme. We found significant
differences in the pharmacokinetic and diffusion
weighted imaging characteristics among the three
traditionally reported fibroid types which may allow
better selection of patients for MR-HIFU and other
available therapeutic options.
