A Multicompartmental Approach
to 2D/3D/4D Ultrasonography
of Pelvic Floor

Imaging currently plays a limited role in the clinical investigation of pelvic floor disorders. The most promising modality to date has been magnetic resonance imaging. But MRI has limitations due to cost and access. Ultrasonography, on the other hand, is part of general practice in obstetrics and gynecology, urology, and colorectal surgery. Translabial or transperineal ultrasound imaging was popularized by extensive publications by H.P. Dietz. “The Atlas of Pelvic Floor Ultrasound” published in 2007 introduced transperineal modality to a larger audience.
