Mri- guided ultrasound therapy for fibroids?!


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 did it work? Any leads on where it might be performed (other than Mt. Sinai) in the Northeast?

Thanks


Answers:

This is beyond my ken, Charlie. If it were me and my missus I'd tell her that ANY job could wait. Non-invasive procedures, like ultrasound, usually sound better (in more ways than one) in theory than in actual practice anyway.

Good luck, on getting a more educated answer.
