Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a relatively new modality with several advantages for the study of the female pelvis [21]. It is not significantly disturbed by respiratory or cardiac motion [30]. Soft tissue contrast is better than with computed tomography (CT) and can be improved by changes in acquisition sequences [17]. Coronal and sagittal planes are directly acquired and are very useful for the study of pelvic lesions. Blood vessels are naturally visible without contrast media. Moreover, the acquisition of images without using ionizing radiation is a definite asset in benign pathology [30].
