โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
This article reviews the normal anatomy of the female pelvis and focuses on uterine physiology, presenting the kinematics of the uterus that can be identified on ultraโfast MR imaging. It also discusses the many facets of the junctional zone on MR imaging. Ultraโfast MR imaging seems to be a powerful tool for evaluating normal anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the uterus. J.

## Abstract Magnetic resonance (MR) images of the pelvis obtained with an endorectal coil have improved resolution relative to that of body coil images; however, they have limited spatial coverage. The sensitivity profile can be improved by using the endorectal coil combined with an external anteri
## Abstract The female perineal body is a mass of interlocking muscular, fascial, and fibrous components lying between the vagina and anorectum. The perineal body is also an integral attachment point for components of the urinary and fecal continence mechanisms, which are commonly damaged during va
