[Abstract] Objective: To evaluate uterine peristalsis in menorrhagia fibroid patients by cine magnetic resonance imaging and to investigate the possible influence of leiomyoma locations on uterine peristalsis.Materials and Methods: Thirty menorrhagia fibroid patients and 30 healthy volunteers participated in this study. MR imaging of uterus in axis T1, axis T2-stir and sagittal T2 and cine MRI were prospectively performed with a 1.5 T scanner during the peri-ovulatory phase. The presence and frequency of normal peristalsis were compared between healthy volunteers and fibroid patients. The relationships between the locations of fibroids and the types of peristalsis were also analyzed.Results: The presence and frequency of normal peristalsis were significantly decreased in menorrhagia fibroid patients compared to healthy volunteers (P< 0.01). Menorrhagia fibroid patients showed a variety of types of peristalsis and patients with submucosal showed no peristalsis.Conclusion: In menorrhagia fibroid patients, the presence of normal peristalsis is significantly decreased, which is not conducive to the rapid transport of sperm to the fallopian tubes. Cine MRI can facilitate evaluation of uterine peristalsis in menorrhagia fibroid patients and provide useful functional information of uterine peristalsis for clinic.
