Female Pelvis Anatomy on MRI

HIDE
PrevNext

0:00

Now let's review the anatomy

0:02

of the female pelvis on MRI.

0:04

This is a sagittal, T2-weighted,

0:06

fat saturated image of the female pelvis.

0:09

And again, we can see the uterus.

0:11

This patient is anteverted and anteflexed.

0:14

This is the uterine fundus.

0:16

On MRI, the myometrium will appear T2

0:19

bright and minimally heterogeneous.

0:21

Again, this is that T2 dark

0:23

junctional zone, that densely packed

0:25

myometrium, and T2 bright endometrium.

0:29

We can see the bladder here anteriorly.

0:32

As we scroll back and forth,

0:33

we start to see almond-shaped

0:35

structures with T2 bright follicles.

0:37

And so this is one of the ovaries,

0:40

and the other ovary is located here.

0:43

This is an axial T2-weighted

0:45

image of the pelvis.

0:46

Again, we see the uterus.

0:47

This is the uterine fundus.

0:49

We see that nice junctional

0:50

zone, endometrium, and T2 bright,

0:53

minimally heterogeneous myometrium.

0:56

Here are the ovaries.

0:57

This is the left ovary.

0:59

The ovaries in this patient are slightly

1:01

anterior to the uterus, but again, they are

1:04

along the course of the external iliac vessels.

1:07

And so this is the right ovary with multiple

1:08

T2 hyperintense follicles, and the left ovary.
