Magnetic resonance imaging for urinary incontinence

Magnetic resonance imaging provides the most accurate, versatile and safe imaging of the pelvic floor. Images can be produced to show sections in any plane and even in three dimensions. The resolution is such that detail as good as that seen in histological sections is possible. Once standardization of data acquisition and patient positioning is agreed we look forward to a new era of increasingly accurate diagnoses of incontinence, allowing tailored management, both surgical and nonsurgical.
