Abstract
T2 signal intensity and perfusion MR findings are known to be important influencing factors for therapeutic response of uterine fibroids to MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) ablation. While T2 signal intensity of fibroids is easy to assess, perfusion MRI is relatively difficult to perform. The aim of this study was to evaluate relationships between T2 signal intensity and semiquantitative perfusion MR parameters of uterine fibroids to know whether T2-weighted image can replace a role of perfusion MRI for procedure screening.
