Anatomic variations in the levator ani muscle, endopelvic fascia, and urethra in nulliparas evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging

Article Abstract:

Researchers found a wide variation in the size, shape, and position of various muscles and tendons that support the pelvic organs in a study of 20 women. They used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is good at imaging soft tissues rather than bone. It is important to know the natural anatomical variations that occur in order to diagnose injuries more accurately.

Visibility of pelvic organ support system structures in magnetic resonance images without an endovaginal coil

Article Abstract:

A woman's pelvic anatomy can be visualized by MRI scans without using an endovaginal coil. An endovaginal coil is a device placed in the vagina to improve MRI image quality, but it distorts the position of the pelvic organs.
