Case : sagittal T2-w intraoperative scan showing the targeted fibroid (asterisk) and full bladder (B) with urinary catheter present. Bowels obstructing the beam path were mitigated using a custom sliced (dashed line) gel pad (GP) and rectal filling with ultrasound gel (R). Curved arrow mimics the dislocation of the bowel loops. This treatment was successfully performed through the full bladder.
