1. Understand normal anatomy and function of the "pelvic floor." 2. Identify types of pelvic floor dysfunction on MRI.

A. Background • Epidemiology and risk factors • Anatomy of the pelvic floor ⁃ Surgical compartments ⁃ Anatomic Layers B. Technique • MRI protocols • Dynamic imaging C. Imaging • Pelvic Floor Support Structures • Pelvic Floor Relaxation ⁃ Pubococcygeal line (PCL) ⁃ Descent: M-line calculation ⁃ Widening: H-line calculation • Pelvic Organ Prolapse ⁃ Bladder ⁃ Vagina ⁃ Rectum • Rectal evacuation D. Discussion • Treatment • Outcomes
