Impact of Hemoglobin Levels on Therapeutic Efficacy and Energy Dosage in Ultrasound-Guided HIFU Ablation of Uterine Fibroids

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate how hemoglobin (HGB) levels affect the therapeutic efficacy and energy dosage during ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) ablation of symptomatic uterine fibroids. Their findings indicate that lower preprocedural HGB levels are associated with higher non-perfused volume ratios (NPVR), while energy efficiency factors (EEF) increase with rising HGB levels, suggesting that HGB concentration may inform individualized energy dose adjustments in clinical practice.
