Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) of Uterine Fibroids
This is a single-site, non-randomized pilot study to determine whether Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) can be optimized for clinical use as part of the patients routine clinical imaging and to correlate with MR signal characteristics of the uterine fibroid.

The FIRSTT: Comparing MRgFUS(MR-guided Focused Ultrasound) Versus UAE (Uterine Artery Embolization)for Uterine Fibroids.
Uterine fibroids affect up to 70 to 80% of women and about 30% of women are symptomatic. Over 200,000 hysterectomies are performed each year for uterine fibroids in the USA. The direct health care costs attributable to uterine fibroids exceed $2.1
