1 Association between magnetic resonance imaging findings of uterine leiomyomas and symptoms demanding treatment  Anu J. Ruuskanen, Maritta I. Hippeläinen, Petri Sipola, Hannu I. Manninen  European Journal of Radiology  Volume 81, Issue 8, Pages (August 2012) DOI: /j.ejrad Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Transverse (a) and sagittal (b and c) non-enhanced T2-weighted turbo spin-echo MR images obtained from three patients. (a) Two small submucosal leiomyomas (arrows) largely (≥50%) protrude into the uterine cavity. (b) A leiomyoma (asterisk) protrudes into the uterine cavity indicating minor (<50%) submucosal component. The third image (c) shows an intramural leiomyoma (asterisk) without contact with the junctional zone.

3 Fig. 2 Enhanced T1-weighted gradient-echo MR images illustrate the enhancement of leiomyomas in three patients. A transverse (a) image shows intense (100%) enhancement of the large single leiomyoma (asterisk), a sagittal (b) image shows 90% enhancement of leiomyomas, and in a transverse (c) image is 30% enhancement of large leiomyomas (asterisks).

4 Fig. 3 A sagittal enhanced T1-weighted gradient-echo MR image obtained from a patient with increased urinary frequency shows large degenerated leiomyomas (asterisks) with 60% enhancement.
