Abstract
The birth of an infant with ambiguous genitalia can cause great
apprehension for the family as well as for healthcare providers. Timely and
appropriate gender assignment is necessary for healthy physical and
psychologic development of the child with ambiguous genitalia. imaging
modalities plays a conclusive role fo
r demonstration of genital anatomy. Imaging modalities include
genitography, ultrasonography (US), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
MR imaging superior in tissue characterization, since it is useful in
morphologic evaluation of mullerian duct structures, the gonads, and the
development of the phallus because of the excellent soft-tissue contrast
achieved with this modality and its multiplanar capability.
