Look back
Our DFP accomplished several goals last year. We had a 70% turnout at the annual meeting in Maui, Hawaii. For the third consecutive time, we conducted a well-attended 4-h Pelvic Floor Imaging Hand’s-on Workshop. Two of our DFP members participated in a friendly debate style plenary session on US vs MRI of the pelvic floor. We had four additional didactic workshops on a wide range of pelvic floor related topics as well. Our DFP also contributed eight articles in Abdominal Radiology special edition devoted to Pelvic floor imaging.
Look ahead
We are finalizing manuscript based on results of an international survey of radiologists (> 200 responses) in order to study the current utilization of pelvic floor imaging across institutions and practices. We have on going collaboration with the Pelvic floor disorders consortium (PFDC) of ASCRS to finalize manuscripts which aim at standardization of terminology and technique for pelvic floor ultrasound, MRI and fluoroscopy through formation of several work groups. We will be participating in the SAR virtual webinar/DFP symposium as well.
