Magnetic resonance guided high intensity focused ultrasound (<scp>MR</scp>‐<scp>HIFU</scp>) effectively reduces fibroid‐related symptoms and improves quality of life—A prospective single‐centre 12‐month follow‐up study
MR-HIFU significantly reduces the severity of fibroid-related symptoms in selected patients as early as 3 months after MR-HIFU. The effect persists at 12 months. There is also a significant improvement in the quality of life 3 months after treatment, which further increases at 12 months.
