Noninvasive treatment of focal adenomyosis with MR-guided focused ultrasound in two patients

Noninvasive treatment of focal adenomyosis with MR-guided focused ultrasound in two patients

Adenomyosis is a common benign gynecological disorder presenting with dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and pressure symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) utilizes precisely focused USG waves to generate and maintain high temperatures within the targeted tissue to...
