Pregnant Women With Fibroids, Are They Candidates For MR Guided Focused Ultrasound? - Dr. LeBlang (VIDEO)

Dr. LeBlang:
As of today, the MR guided Focused Ultrasound procedure is not intended to be used in patients that are currently pregnant or want to get pregnant. There have been very good studies done in Europe that show its promise to use MR guided Focused Ultrasound in women who are infertile and want to become pregnant, and hopefully the FDA will approve the trials to start in the United States very soon.
