[Evaluation of two classifications systems for pelvic prolapse on dynamic MRI].

Purpose: To determine the usefulness of two classification systems for pelvic prolapse on MRI.

Materials And Methods: Prospective study of 30 patients with symptoms of pelvic prolapse performed in a single center. All patients underwent clinical evaluation followed by dynamic pelvic MRI within 15 days.

[Anatomy of the female pelvis on MRI: value of intravaginal contrast].

Purpose: Prospective monocentric study to determine the feasibility, tolerability and diagnostic value of intravaginal contrast to assess female pelvic anatomy on MRI.

Materials And Methods: Forty-nine consecutive women referred for MRI evaluation of the pelvis, irrespective of the indication, were included in this study. The MR imaging protocol consisted of axial and sagittal T2W images before and after intravaginal instillation of sterile US gel.

[MR imaging evaluation of endometrial carcinoma].

Prognosis for endometrial carcinoma is closely related to cell type and tumor grade but also to local staging using the FIGO classification. MRI, under specific technical conditions, allows excellent depiction of the degree of myometrial tumor extension. It also has an excellent specificity for the detection of cervical extension.

MR cholangiopancreatography features of the biliary tree after liver transplantation.

Objective: Our objective was to show the usefulness of MR cholangiopancreatography in assessing biliary complications after liver transplantation.

Conclusion: MR cholangiopancreatography is the best noninvasive tool for the diagnosis and assessment of biliary complications.

[Deep pelvic endometriosis: MRI features].

Endometriosis is a frequent pathology of adult women. Clinical examination and US are poorly sensitive for detection of deep pelvic implants and MRI is superior for presurgical mapping of disease extent. This is important to optimize complete surgical excision, the only proven treatment to achieve symptomatic relief.
