Positional pelvic organ prolapse (POP) evaluation using open weight-bearing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

摘要

Introduction:Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is completed in the supine position. Open magnetic resonance imaging (MRO) uses vertical magnets, allowing imaging in a variety of upright postures. This pilot study used MRO to evaluate the change of prolapse in different positions compared to non-prolapsed images.
