Summary

A comparative study of serial anatomic sections in the transverse, frontal and sagittal planes with corresponding MRI sections of the pelvis allowed the authors to define the most suitable sectional planes and MRI modes for a morphologic study of the levator ani muscle. This study shows the value of MRI examination in the assessment of anorectal malformations.

Résumé

A partir de l'étude comparative de coupes anatomiques dans les plans transversal, frontal, sagittal et des coupes IRM correspondantes du petit bassin, les auteurs déterminent quels sont les plans de coupe et les modes IRM les plus performants pour l'étude morphologique des muscles élévateurs de l'anus. Cette étude montre l'intérêt de l'examen IRM dans le bilan des malformations ano-rectales opérées.
