Abstract:
The wide variety of available surface coils, pulse sequences, and post-processing techniques make MR imaging a useful clinical and research tool for evaluation of pelvic floor relaxation. Cases of isolated cystocele do not require imaging; however, in cases in which multiple compartments of the pelvis are involved or the patient has failed prior surgery, MR imaging should be considered for preoperative planning.
