 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 6 MRI diagnosis of uterine fibroids experience of 31 cases [Abstract] Objective To investigate the MRI diagnosis of uterine fibroids and performance characteristics. Methods 31 cases of uterine fibroids-line MRI examination, and an analysis of their results. Results 31 patients by MRI examination, only 2 cases were misdiagnosed as uterine leiomyosarcoma and endometrial polyps, the remaining 29 cases were confirmed by surgery, diagnostic accuracy was 93.2%. Conclusions MRI in the characterization of uterine fibroids, size, location and the relationship between the uterine cavity had a higher diagnostic value sagittal MRI scan of the uterus is necessary to check the level. [Keywords:] uterine fibroids; magnetic resonance imaging; diagnosis Uterine fibroids are the female reproductive system is the most common benign tumor, which is also known as uterine fibroids. Made by the smooth muscle tissue, during which a small amount of fibrous connective tissue. MRI with high resolution multi-dimensional imaging of tissue characteristics, so that it The diagnosis of uterine fibroids has its unique advantages. now our hospital with complete data of 31 pathologically confirmed cases of uterine fibroids were analyzed and summarized, so that the performance of our MRI images for a more in-depth understanding. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General information on 31 patients for the September 2003 ~ December 2007 to our hospital patients, aged 31 to 62 years, the average age of 45.2 years. Increase the amount of menstrual symptoms, cycle disorders, abdominal pain, abdominal mass based, which increased menstrual flow in 25 cases, 17 cases of abdominal pain, pelvic mass in 15 cases, 3 cases of asymptomatic discoverer by physical examination. 1.2 MRI scanning methods used Vectra0.5T superconducting magnetic resonance imaging scans, routine election sagittal, axial, coronal scan when necessary, and the pressure increases as fat.
