MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is effective for the distinct pattern of uterine fibroids seen in African-American women: data from phase III/IV, non-randomized, multicenter clinical trials
Machtinger, Ronit; Fennessy, Fiona M; Stewart, Elizabeth A; Missmer, Stacey A; Correia, Katharine F; Tempany, Clare MC (BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Uterine fibroids are common among women at the reproductive age. Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) is a novel and a conservative treatment for symptomatic cases. The aim of the study ... -
Potential of minimally invasive procedures in the treatment of uterine fibroids: a focus on magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound therapy
Fischer, Krisztina; McDannold, Nathan J; Tempany, Clare M; Jolesz, Ferenc A; Fennessy, Fiona M (Dove Medical Press, 2015)Minimally invasive treatment options are an important part of the uterine fibroid-treatment arsenal, especially among younger patients and in those who plan future pregnancies. This article provides an overview of the ... -
Successful MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound Uterine Fibroid Treatment Despite an Ostomy and Significant Abdominal Wall Scarring
Machtinger, Ronit; Tempany, Clare M. C.; Kanan Roddy, Angela; Fennessy, Fiona Mary (International Scholarly Research Network, 2010)We present a case of successful magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) of a uterine fibroid in a patient with extensive anterior abdominal wall surgical scars from two longitudinal laparotomies, ... -
Variability in MRI vs. ultrasound measures of prostate volume and its impact on treatment recommendations for favorable-risk prostate cancer patients: a case series
Murciano-Goroff, Yonina R; Wolfsberger, Luciant D; Parekh, Arti; Fennessy, Fiona M; Tuncali, Kemal; Orio, Peter F; Niedermayr, Thomas R; Suh, W Warren; Devlin, Phillip M; Tempany, Clare Mary C; Sugar, Emily H Neubauer; O’Farrell, Desmond A; Steele, Graeme; O’Leary, Michael; Buzurovic, Ivan; Damato, Antonio L; Cormack, Robert A; Fedorov, Andriy Y; Nguyen, Paul L (BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Prostate volume can affect whether patients qualify for brachytherapy (desired size ≥20 mL and ≤60 mL) and/or active surveillance (desired PSA density ≤0.15 for very low risk disease). This study examines ... -
