Our Uterine Fibroid Service offers an advanced 3D imaging solution designed to support the assessment and treatment planning for uterine fibroids. By accurately calculating the volume of the uterus and providing detailed mapping of the pelvic vasculature, this service may assist in the management of fibroids. Precise measurements of the uterus' volume are important in gauging the extent of fibroids present, which is essential for understanding the severity of the condition and planning appropriate interventions.

Additionally, this imaging may be useful for effective planning of uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), a minimally invasive procedure that aims to shrink fibroids by blocking their blood supply. This approach ensures that treatment is precisely targeted, maximizing efficiency and outcomes. UFE involves using imaging guidance to deliver small particles that obstruct the blood flow to fibroids, leading to their reduction.

Our service also provides follow-up measurements to monitor the response to various therapies, such as High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), UFE, or myomectomy, allowing for the adjustment of treatment plans based on the progress observed. With nearly 90 percent of women experiencing symptom relief from fibroids through such treatments, our Uterine Fibroid Service is committed to delivering targeted and effective solutions for fibroid management, enhancing patient care and outcomes.

3D-rendered images can significantly decrease the time needed for surgical planning of uterine fibroids while maintaining accurate preoperative assessments, compared to traditional sagittal images. These images simplify spatial recognition, particularly for novice gynecologists, enhancing educational value and potentially reducing their workload by providing clearer visualizations of complex anatomical relationships.
