First Phase: Uterine fibroid diagnosis through the use of lower abdomen magnetic resonance images
This procedure accurately determines the presence, type, size, shape, location, number, and consistency of the uterine fibroids and is the decisive means of determining whether a patient is eligible for the ExAblate treatment or not. If eligible, this study will also examine the whole treatment plan and path of action.
This phase also diagnoses other pathologies that may be present in the pelvic area by assessing all pelvic structures: uterus, ovaries, urine bladder, sigmoid colon, and the iliac, sacrum, and coccyx bones.
