Minimally Invasive Therapeutics Group of MRI Application Committee of China Medical Equipment Association

Uterine fibroid is the most common benign tumor in women of a childbearing age. MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a new non-invasive method for the treatment of uterine fibroids. Guided by MRI, the ultrasound can focus on the fibroid tissue accurately, producing a high temperature(65-85 ℃)to inactivate protein, induce apoptosis and coagulate necrosis of tumor cells. MRgFUS can accurately ablate fibroid tissue and avoid damage to normal tissue outside the treatment area. In order to further improve the level of MRgFUS treatment of uterine fibroid in China, reduce and avoid the occurrence of complications, and provide safe, effective and standardized treatment to patients, the Minimally Invasive Therapeutics Group of MRI Application Committee of China Medical Equipment Association organized relevant experts to formulate the "China consensus on MR-guided focused ultrasound for uterine fibroids".
