Uterine and Fibroid Imaging Analysis from the FIRSTT Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Women with uterine fibroids often seek uterine-preserving treatments, rather than hysterectomy. Imaging-defined endpoints following nonsurgical treatments for fibroids are limited. Materials and Methods: Fibroid Interventions: Reducing Symptoms Today and Tomorrow (FIRSTT), a randomized controlled trial of uterine artery embolization (UAE) versus magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS), enrolled premenopausal women with symptomatic uterine fibroids. In this subanalysis, we report imaging results up to 36 months after UAE or MRgFUS. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed at baseline for all women and during the 36 months after treatment if they did not meet other study endpoints. The main outcome of this subanalysi
