Abstract:Objective To discuss the value of LAVA (Liver Acceleration Volume Acquisition) sequence in evaluating effects of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) on hysteromyoma. Methods LAVA MASK and LAVA enhanced-dynamic-scan were performed by GE Signa HDe 1.5T MR system on 83 patients with hysteromyoma (a total of 117 myomata) before and after HIFU to observe lesions signal and evaluate the effects of HIFU treatment. Results By analyzing the results, we found that signals of 106 myomata clearly changed and were characterized by coagulation necrosis, LAVA MASK signal increased, and LAVA enhanced-dynamic-scan displayed significant decrease in blood-supply. Besides, the rest 11 myomata MRI signal showed littler change before and after HIFU treatment as well as LAVA MASK signal, LAVA enhanced-dynamic-scan displayed blood-supply not changes significantly. Conclusion LAVA sequence plays a very important role on evaluating the effects of HIFU treatments.
