Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: This study compared dynamic MR imaging with fluoroscopic cystocolpoproctography for the detection and measurement of prolapse of pelvic organs. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Ten patients underwent triphasic dynamic MR imaging and triphasic fluoroscopic cystocolpoproctography with identical amounts of contrast material to opacify the bladder, vagina, and rectum. The dynamic MR imaging procedure included cine-loop presentation. Each examination was analyzed to determine the presence and extent of prolapse of pelvic organs based on specific measurements. RESULTS: Both dynamic MR imaging and fluoroscopic cystocolpoproctography revealed 10 rectoceles (mean extents, 2.85 and 2.45 cm, respectively). Nine cystoceles were revealed by both dynamic MR imaging (mean extent, 4.05 cm) and fluoroscopy (mean extent, 4.55 cm). Seven enteroceles were revealed, one of which was initially not seen on dynamic MR imaging. Two sigmoidoceles were revealed, one of which was not seen on fluoroscopy. The mean extent of the enteroceles and sigmoidoceles on dynamic MR imaging was 3.50 cm, and the mean extent on fluoroscopy was 4.25 cm. Nine of the 10 patients were able to defecate in the supine position on the MR imaging table. Patients were divided equally in their preference for dynamic MR imaging or fluoroscopic cystocolpoproctography. CONCLUSION: Triphasic dynamic MR imaging and triphasic fluoroscopic cystocolpoproctograpy show similar detection rates for prolapse of pelvic organs. Although dynamic MR imaging underestimates the extent of cystoceles and enteroceles, it has the advantage of revealing all pelvic organs and the pelvic floor musculature in a multiplanar cine-loop presentation.
