4. Women who are able and willing to attend all study visits

5. Patient is pre or peri-menopausal (within 12 months of last menstrual period)

6. Able to communicate sensations during the ExAblate procedure

7. Uterine fibroids, which are device accessible

8. Fibroid(s) clearly visible on non-contrast MRI.

9. Fibroid(s) enhances on MR contrast imaging

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Women currently pregnant

2. Uterine size > 24 cm W/O the cervix

6. Implanted metallic device prohibiting MRI

7. Severe claustrophobia

8. Active pelvic infection

9. Current use of intrauterine contraceptive device

10. Unstable medical conditions requiring additional monitoring during the procedure

11. Bleeding diathesis requiring medical treatment

14. Pedunculated submucosal or pedunculated subserosal myoma

15. Size and weight which prohibits subject from fitting in MRI device

16. Unavoidable, scarring, skin folds or irregularity, bowel, pubic bone, IUD, surgical
clips or hard implants in the beam path.

17. Hyper intense fibroid relatively to the uterus muscle

18. Women with ovarian dermoid cyst anywhere in the treatment path
