Surgical Clinics of North America, 1994
The pelvic floor conditions form a diverse array of primarily functional conditions that are rarely life-threatening but may be severely debilitating. Reassurance combined with initial medical and dietary management of most of these conditions greatly ameliorates the suffering of most patients.

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 ...

The anatomy of the pelvic floor
Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1994The 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 ...

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, 1998A 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.

Summary The pelvic floor forms the inferior boundary of the abdomino-pelvic cavity. The co-ordinated action of the muscles which surround this cavity generates intra-abdominal pressure, with the pelvic floor muscles acting before the pressure rise to maintain organ support and urinary and faecal continence.

Pelvic floor ultrasound: a review
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2010Female pelvic floor dysfunction encompasses a number of prevalent conditions and includes pelvic organ prolapse, urinary and fecal incontinence, obstructed defecation, and sexual dysfunction. In most cases neither etiology nor pathophysiology are well understood. Imaging has great potential to enhance both research and clinical management capabilities,

Pelvic floor muscle function in women presenting with pelvic floor disorders
International Urogynecology Journal, 2009This observational study was undertaken to determine knowledge, prior instruction, frequency of performance, and ability to perform pelvic floor muscle exercises in a group of women presenting for evaluation of pelvic floor disorders.Three hundred twenty-five women presenting for evaluation of pelvic floor disorders were questioned concerning knowledge

Integrated total pelvic floor ultrasound in pelvic floor defaecatory dysfunction
Colorectal Disease, 2017AbstractAimImaging for pelvic floor defaecatory dysfunction includes defaecation proctography. Integrated total pelvic floor ultrasound (transvaginal, transperineal, endoanal) may be an alternative. This study assesses ultrasound accuracy for the detection of rectocele, intussusception, enterocele and dyssynergy compared with defaecation proctography ...
