Diagnosis of uterine fibroids.. Magnetic resonance better than ultrasound



What is the best way to diagnose fibroids?
Fibroids are often diagnosed during medical examination, because fibroids give the uterus a larger and more irregular size.
If the diagnosis is questionable, an ultrasound scan may be useful for diagnosis, where ultrasound is fairly accurate to determine the size and position of fibroids within the uterine wall.
Locating the right location of fibroids sometimes is difficult because ultrasound can not detect small fibroids. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is therefore the best test that limits the size, number and location of fibroids. The magnetic resonance imaging image is also used to see whether fibroids are present under the lining of the uterus or not, as it is useful to explain if there is abundant bleeding or that the ability to reproduce is a concern.
MRI is best in diagnosing fibroblasts of ultrasound.
