Decreasing margins to the uterine serosa as a method for increasing the volume of fibroids ablated with magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery

Reducing the margin between the fibroid treatment area and the uterine serosa, when possible, enables MRgFUS treatment of greater fibroid volume, while maintaining a high safety profile. Special attention should be paid when the uterus lies adjacent to other sensitive organs to avoid unintentional heating of these organs, using the planning and real-time MR images.
