Evaluation of Diffusion Tensor Imaging and High Frequency 3D Endovaginal Ultrasound

A novel technique in MR imaging, which allows tracking of the pelvic floor muscle fibers, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) will be performed in addition to the standard scanning protocol. We think that MRI with DTI is superior to routine MRI in visualization of LAM.

"The patient will be scanned in a supine position and the probe is inserted into the vagina in the neutral position to avoid excessive pressure on surrounding structures to avoid distortion of the anatomy. The 3D data automatic acquisition takes approximately 70 seconds.~The analysis of the ultrasound images will be performed on the Trust computers by Radiologists experienced in pelvic floor ultrasound.~Participant will be asked to complete a VAS score for the US."
