Pelvic Floor Physiology

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1988
Pelvic floor physiology is poorly understood. The funnel shape of the pelvic floor and anal canal is uniquely developed to provide discriminatory continence of gas, liquid, and solid. Proximally, the pelvic floor consists of the pubococcygeus and iliococcygeus muscles.

Pelvic Floor Imaging

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 2010
Pelvic floor ultrasound is a valuable adjunct in elucidation of cause, diagnosis, and treatment of pelvic floor disorders. Three-dimensional ultrasound specifically has been shown to have many advantages over conventional imaging modalities. Proper evaluation of pelvic floor muscle function, strength, and integrity is an important component of ...

Pelvic Floor Imaging

Radiology, 2001
A greater awareness of the therapies now available for pelvic floor dysfunction has increased demand for specialized imaging of this region. Some of the techniques required are available at relatively few centers, and the purpose of this review is to introduce the emerging subspecialty of pelvic floor imaging to a more general readership.

MRI of the Pelvic Floor

2010
The pelvic floor is a complex anatomic and functional unit. Over the past few years MR imaging has gained increasing acceptance as imaging modality for evaluation of the pelvic floor. Using static T2-weighted sequences, the morphology of the pelvic floor can be visualized in great detail. A multicoil array and a rapid half-Fourier T2-weighted, balanced

Imaging Studies of the Pelvic Floor

Postgraduate Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1998
A variety of imaging modalities complement the history and physical examination in the investigation of pelvic floor dysfunction in women. Current fluoroscopic techniques, including defocography, can reveal underlying pelvic floor defects by reproducing normal daily activities that cause symptoms.

The anatomy of the pelvic floor

Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1994
The pelvic organs are suspended by the pelvic ligaments and supported by the levator ani muscles. Breaks in the connective tissue, and neuromuscular damage affecting the pelvic floor muscles cause pelvic organ prolapse. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound have begun to define the dynamics of the pelvic floor and document the specific tissue ...
