Abstract

MRI is taking a growing place for pelvic prolapse diagnosis. A strict technical protocol with static and dynamic sequences is required with rectal and vaginal ultrasound gel. A good knowledge of physiology and anatomy of pelvic and perineal muscles is mandatory as well as a clinical approach of various pathologic prolapses. MRI fundings are presented and correlated with several clinical situations of prolapse and post operative features.
