Self-infarcted fibroids in a 33-year-old woman, presenting for pre-embolization evaluation. Sagittal T1-weighted fat-saturated contrast-enhanced image shows lack of enhancement of two fibroids (F1, F2). Since these fibroids are avascular, UAE is unlikely to decrease the fibroids’ size or improve patient symptoms. F3 presents the most common enhancement pattern, being slightly hypovascular compared with the adjacent myometrium.
