Zusammenfassung:Objectives We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of sonographically guided high‐intensity focused ultrasound for treating patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids using a modified protocol. Methods This work was part of an ongoing prospective phase 1 study. Twenty patients with 22 symptomatic fibroids were treated with sonographically guided high‐intensity focused ultrasound under no anesthesia. The modified protocol consisted of repeated and shortened (
