Abnormal uterine bleeding successfully treated via ultrasound-guided microwave ablation of uterine myoma lesions: Three case reports

Figure 1 Transvaginal ultrasound tomography. A: The schema for this procedure. Transvaginal ultrasound tomography was used to identify the feeding vessels of the uterine myomas via the color Doppler method. Using a needle-shaped deep coagulation electrode, the feeding vessels were directly ablated with microwaves at 2.45 GHz; B: Intraoperative transvaginal ultrasound tomography. Transvaginal ultrasound tomography using the color Doppler method was performed to identify the feeding vessels to the uterine myomas (arrow); C: A transvaginal ultrasound-guided microwave ablation of the feeding vessels to the uterine myomas using a needle-shaped deep coagulation electrode is depicted as a hyperechoic area (arrows).
