Fig. 1A.41-year-old woman in group 1 with menorrhagia, anemia, and
bulk-related symptoms caused by uterine fibroids. Enhanced T1-weighted image
obtained before embolization reveals enhancing dominant uterine fibroid
(asterisk) 13.5 cm in maximal diameter, which is located at
intramural area of uterine body.
Fig. 1B.41-year-old woman in group 1 with menorrhagia, anemia, and
bulk-related symptoms caused by uterine fibroids. Enhanced T1-weighted image
obtained 1 year after embolization reveals that tumor (asterisk),
10.2 cm in maximal diameter, is not enhancing.
Fig. 2A.44-year-old woman in group 2 with menorrhagia and anemia
caused by uterine fibroids. Enhanced T1-weighted image obtained before
embolization reveals enhancing dominant uterine fibroid (asterisk),
5.5 cm in maximal diameter, which is located at submucosal area of uterine
body.
Fig. 2B.44-year-old woman in group 2 with menorrhagia and anemia
caused by uterine fibroids. Enhanced T1-weighted image obtained 1 year after
embolization reveals that tumor (asterisk), 4 cm in maximal diameter,
is not enhancing.
