3-D Endoanal Ultrasound: Normative Anatomy of the Anal Sphincter in Nulliparous Females

The subject will be placed in the supine position with their feet in the stirrups and a drape will be used, exposing only the anus and perineum in order to introduce the probe. In order to prevent and minimize any potential discomfort, the lubricated ultrasound probe will be gently inserted into the anal canal up to the anal verge, with minimal manipulation of the probe once inserted. The scan lasts approximately two minutes and the entire exam will take no more than five minutes.
