The revolutionary new technology – GE Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) treats uterine fibroids in women by using high intensity ultrasound waves to non-invasively destroy benign tumours of the uterus. The most common treatment for fibroids is hysterectomy, a surgical procedure that involves a stay in hospital and up to six weeks of recovery time. MRgFUS destroys fibroids without causing damage to surrounding tissues and could be used as a common alternative to removal of a uterus or hysterectomy. The treatment, which is carried out as an outpatient procedure has a short recovery time than hysterectomy and can help women to return much more quickly to normal daily activities.The MRgFUS technology – the ExAblate
