Evaluation of the female pelvic floor in pelvic organ prolapse using 3.0-Tesla diffusion tensor imaging and fibre tractography

Abstract

Diffusion tensor MRI offers new insights into female pelvic floor problems. DTI allows 3D visualisation and quantification of female pelvic floor anatomy. DTI parameters from pelvic floor structures can be reliably determined. No significant differences in DTI parameters between groups with/without prolapse.
