چکیده
Background/introduction With regards to MR-HIFU ablation of uterine fibroids, there have been no screening MR criteria that comprehensively consider multiple influencing factors. The aims of this study was to generate screening MRI-based prediction model for therapeutic responses of MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) ablation of uterine fibroids comprehensively considering multiple influencing factors.
