Mri- guided ultrasound therapy for fibroids?

My wife has a 15 cm fibroid. She is 50 years old and just graduated from engineering school. She would like to get a job, but a hysterectomy will put her out of the market for longer than she'd like. Uterine Arterial Embolization is not an option since she is allergic to iodine used in the procedure.

My question, has anyone had MRI-guided ultrasound therapy for this condition? How id it work? Any leads on where it might be performed (other than Mt. Sinai) in the Northeast?

Thanks

Answer:
I did not have this procedure (I had hysterectomy) but I wonder if you read these sites:

I hope this helps. By the way if your wife's hysterectomy is not a total one, i.e. if its not an Abdominal, after which complete recovery usually takes four to eight weeks. But instead has a vaginal or laparoscopic procedure then most women are able to return to normal activity in one to two weeks.

So this is also another option to consider. Good luck.
