First experience of real-time elastography with transvaginal approach in assessing response to MRgFUS treatment of uterine fibroids.
Definition of the role of real-time elastography (RTE) in the evaluation of response to treatment of uterine fibroids using MRgFUS in symptomatic patients. ⋯ RTE is a valid method able to support standard ultrasound examination in the evaluation of uterine fibroids, since it allows demonstrating the decrease of rigidity, which can be quantified with the SR parameter. It could be included in a pre-treatment multiparametric evaluation of patients looking for MRgFUS eligibility and in follow-up when it could assess the response to treatment.
