Abstract

BACKGROUND: Currently high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is widely used to treat uterine fibroids (UFs). The aim of this study is to develop a machine learning model that can accurately predict the efficacy of HIFU ablation for UFs, assisting the preoperative selection of suitable patients with UFs.
