High-intensity focused ultrasound for symptomatic uterine fibroids

Correction to: A feasibility analysis of the ArcBlate MR‑guided high‑intensity focused ultrasound system for the ablation of uterine fibroids

“…(vi) "Despite the decreased estrogen level in this patient (49 years) who approached menopause may also have influenced the treatment outcome [35]," should read as "Despite the decreased estrogen level in this patient (49 years) who approached menopause may also have influenced the treatment outcome [31]," (vii) "No real-time monitoring in thermal damage in tissue was one of the limitations in ultrasonographyguided HIFU therapy [36], while it could be resolved under MR guidance. Besides, patients having pelvic endometriosis, adhesions locating between the uterus and bowel, or > 10-mm abdominal surgical scar are not recommended to receive HIFU therapy [37]. However, one patient with adenomyosis in our study showed a lower shrinkage rate after 3 months than another study (our study vs. another study: 5.5% vs. 46.3%) [38]."…”
