Area of Science:

  • Pelvic floor imaging
  • Functional MRI techniques
  • Urogynecology

Context:

  • Pelvic floor disorders affect many women.
  • Current imaging methods have limitations.
  • Functional cine MRI presents an alternative diagnostic tool.

Purpose:

  • To describe a functional cine MRI method for pelvic floor assessment.
  • To establish morphometric reference values for pelvic floor organs.
  • To evaluate the utility of functional cine MRI in differentiating normal from abnormal findings.

Summary:

  • Functional cine MRI was performed on 20 nulliparous women using a 1.5 Tesla scanner.
  • T2-weighted gradient-echo sequence (Ture-FISP) visualized pelvic organs at rest and during straining.
  • 29 observer-independent morphometric and functional parameters were measured.

Impact:

  • Functional cine MRI effectively visualizes pelvic floor organ interactions.
  • Reference data aids in distinguishing normal from abnormal pelvic floor anatomy.
  • This objective method unifies pelvic floor diagnostics.
