Abstract

A new technique is described for determination of the anatomy of the urethrovesical junction using magnetic resonance imaging. Using this technique it is possible to precisely define the anatomical relationships of the urethra and bladder base within the pelvis. It is non-invasive and non-ionizing. This report demonstrates its usefulness in Urogynecology.
