Figure 2

The sagittal localizer image on the left demonstrates bowel loops coursing between the anterior abdominal wall and the uterine fibroid. After placement of a spacer device (sagittal localizer image on the right) under the anterior abdominal wall, the bowel loops are displaced, allowing for treatment through a larger acoustic window.
