Pelvic floor imaging is a growing subspecialty using advanced techniques like MR imaging to diagnose conditions such as incontinence and prolapse. This review details these methods for a broader audience.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pelvic Floor Imaging
  • Anatomy and Physiology

Background:

  • Increasing awareness of pelvic floor dysfunction therapies drives demand for specialized imaging.
  • Advanced pelvic floor imaging techniques are not widely available.
  • Pelvic floor imaging is an emerging subspecialty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the subspecialty of pelvic floor imaging to a general readership.
  • To detail complex pelvic floor anatomy using a global approach.
  • To outline normal urinary and anal function and clinical tests.

Main Methods:

  • Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is crucial for visualizing complex pelvic floor anatomy.
  • Techniques include MR imaging, endosonography, and fluoroscopy.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Key investigations: video urodynamic imaging, evacuation proctography, dynamic cystoproctography, dynamic MR imaging, and endoluminal imaging.

    • Main Results:

    • Detailed descriptions of various imaging techniques are provided.
    • The role of these techniques in diagnosing pelvic floor pathologies is discussed.
    • MR imaging offers a detailed view of pelvic floor anatomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Pelvic floor imaging is essential for diagnosing conditions like urinary/anal incontinence, constipation, and prolapse.
    • Advanced imaging modalities are key to understanding and managing pelvic floor dysfunction.
    • This review provides a comprehensive overview for a wider medical audience.
