Uterine Fibroids

Assistant Professor of Radiology at Eastern Virginia Medical School, Jeffrey McTavish MD, equips the practicing OB/Gyn with this condensed guide on the current methods for diagnosing leiomyomatous disease. With the aid of high resolution images, he describes the various appearances of uterine fibroids on MR Imaging, and shows how MRI can also be used to depict alternative causes of uterine enlargement such as adenomyosis, which can be clinically indistinguishable from fibroid disease. In addition, he helps the reader to understand the advantages of MRI in imaging uterine fibroids prior to medical or surgical therapy, particularly important in cases where choice of therapy differs sharply depending on imaging assessment.
