HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
When imaging investigations are requested, a specific area is scanned.
If at the time of your previous MRI, there was no imaging directed in the region of the pelvis (where the uterus is found), then the fibroids would not be seen.
In addition, imaging is user dependent. One technologist may miss what another is able to see on scanning.
I hope this helps
