OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic dose and long-term efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for different types of uterine fibroids based on signal intensity on T2-weighted MR images (T2WI).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four hundred and one patients with a solitary uterine fibroid treated with HIFU were classified into four groups consisting of extremely hypointense, hypointense, isointense and hyperintense fibroids. Each group was further classified into two subtypes: homogeneous and heterogeneous, based on signal homogeneity of fibroids. The therapeutic dose and long-term follow-up results were compared.
RESULTS: There were significant differences in treatment time, sonication time, treatment intensity, total treatment dosage, treatment efficiency, energy-efficiency factor (EEF) and non-perfused volume (NPV) ratio among the four groups (p<.05). The average NPV ratio achieved in patients with extremely hypointense, hypointense, isointense and hyperintense fibroids was 75.2 ± 14.6%, 71.1 ± 15.6%, 68.2 ± 17.3% and 67.8 ± 16.6%, respectively; the re-intervention rates at 36 months after HIFU were 8.4%, 10.3%, 12.5% and 6.1%, respectively. Sonication time, treatment intensity and total energy for heterogeneous fibroids were greater than that for homogeneous fibroids in patients with extremely hypointense fibroids (p<.05). The treatment time for heterogeneous fibroids was significantly longer than that for homogeneous fibroids in patients with isointense fibroids (p<.05). Multivariate ordered logistic regression analysis showed that the ablation volume of fibroids and treatment time were related to NPV ratio (p<.05).
CONCLUSION: Every group of patients obtained satisfactory long-term results. Hyperintense fibroids are difficult to treat by HIFU. Heterogeneous fibroids are more difficult to treat with HIFU than homogeneity fibroids.
