Abstract:
Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive and well-accepted form of treatment for patients with symptoms from fibroids. Imaging is routinely performed before the procedure for various reasons and after the procedure in cases with either complications or incomplete response to UFE. The interventionalists performing the procedure require specific information from these imaging studies. This article describes the imaging workup of patients referred for UFE, specifically the information from these imaging examinations before the procedure that are necessary to the interventionalist and the complications seen after the procedure.
