Abstract
M
agnetic Resonance Imaging is a promising modality for assessment of female pelvic floor dysfunction due to its inherent high soft tissue resolution, allowing the delineation of pelvic organ prolapse as well as the anatomical defects responsible for it.
The concordance of dynamic MR Imaging findings with clinical examination in the staging of pelvic organ prolapse is generally good in this study, yet with non significant agreement regarding middle compartment prolapse.
Enterocele, which is frequently missed by clinical examination, is also better visualized by dynamic MR Imaging, which increases the value of MRI in this aspect.
The diversity of reference lines in dynamic MR Imaging used in the literature is partly responsible for the different results obtained.
Static MR Imaging can be also useful to identify the defects responsible for pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence, and so help perform site specific repair in surgery, to avoid the high recurrence rates.
