This volume builds on the success of the first edition of Imaging Pelvic
Floor Disorders and is aimed at those practitioners with an interest in
the imaging, diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction.
Concise textual information from acknowledged experts is complemented by
high-quality diagrams and images to provide a thorough update of this
rapidly evolving field. Introductory chapters fully elucidate the
anatomical basis underlying disorders of the pelvic floor. State of the
art imaging techniques and their application in pelvic floor dysfunction
are then discussed in detail. Additions since the first edition include
consideration of the effect of aging and new chapters on perineal
ultrasound, functional MRI and MRI of the levator muscles. The closing
sections of the book describe the modern clinical management of pelvic
floor dysfunction, including prolapse, urinary and faecal incontinence
and constipation, with specific emphasis on the integration of
diagnostic and treatment algorithms.
