Summary
The normal pelvic anatomy and its radiological appearance on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are described, including the blood vessels, nerves, pelvic organs, sacrum, pelvic floor, and ligaments of the sacroiliac joint, with many images. MRI is a very useful evaluation tool both before and after pelvic surgery.
