MR Guided Focused Ultrasound Treatment of Uterine Fibroids

Our Doctors

Your care team includes gynecologists, radiologists and interventional radiologists. In a single clinic visit, these specialists will obtain a medical history, perform a gynecologic exam, and review MR imaging of the pelvis. With this approach, our team will be able to discuss all treatment options, and help our patient arrive at the treatment choice that is best for her.

Care and Treatment of Fibroids

Expertise

Advanced Treatments for Fibroids

We provide advanced treatment options for women with fibroids, including interventional radiology techniques and surgical procedures. Learn more about fibroid treatments.

Fibroids and Other Conditions We Treat

Fibroids are common benign tumors. Many women who have fibroids experience no symptoms, and doctors only find the fibroids during a routine examination. We also treat other conditions, such as varicose veins and peripheral vascular disease. Learn more about conditions treated at the Fibroid Center.
