Abstract

Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are benign (benign) tumours that commonly occur in the uterus. These tumours account for about 20-50% of gynaecological tumours. Radiological examination plays an important role in diagnosing uterine fibroids. This certainly has implications for the diagnosis, because with this the diagnosis will certainly be sharper and the management of therapy is more precise. Especially for this disorder, ultrasonography (USG) is still the modality of choice in early detection (screening). It is different from MRI, although it is a long process, these modalities can provide a more accurate morphological image. In addition, interventional radiology also plays an important role not only in terms of diagnostics but in terms of therapy, it can also be a treatment option for this disorder.
