What is MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS)?
What are the benefits of MRgFUS for the treatment of fibroids?

I had a pelvic ultrasound in my gynecologist's office. Is this satisfactory imaging, or do I still need a MRI?
No, you would still need a pelvic MRI. To determine if you are a candidate for MRgFUS, you would be scanned on the special FUS treatment table in the prone position. If (after review of these images) you qualify as a candidate for MRgFUS, and you would like to proceed with this procedure, these images would be used to develop a customized treatment plan for your fibroids.
What types of fibroids can be treated with MRgFUS?
I recently had a myomectomy but my fibroids are still bothering me – can I get this treatment?
How do I know if I am a candidate for MRgFUS?
Does insurance cover this procedure and if not, what are the payment options?
