Figure 7a. Peripheral fibroid calcification following UAE in a 50-year-old woman. (a, b) Axial transabdominal US images obtained prior to UAE demonstrate multiple intramural (M) and subserosal (S) fibroids in different locations (cursors). (c, d) On US images obtained 3 years after UAE, the fibroids are hypoechoic with decreased volumes (cursors in c). Note also the hyperechoic rim around the involuted fibroids with distal shadowing (arrows), findings that are consistent with calcification and that mimic the appearance of a fetal head.
