  • Title: MR imaging of the pelvic floor: defecography.
    Author: Brandão AC, Ianez P.
    Journal: Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am; 2013 May; 21(2):427-45. PubMed ID: 23642561.
    Abstract:
    Defecography by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging makes it possible to view the multiple compartments of the pelvic floor at one examination, with high-resolution images at rest and dynamic images, providing accurate evaluation of the morphology and function of the anorectal and pelvic organs and muscles, involved in pelvic floor dynamics. MR imaging of the pelvic floor identifies the diseases affecting the evacuation mechanism, providing information essential for surgical planning and choice of treatment approach. This article focuses on the MR details of the pelvic floor anatomy and the most commonly observed anatomic and functional abnormalities.
