Pelvic Floor Imaging
The functional anatomy of the female pelvic floor can be assessed by transperineal/ translabial ultrasound. Assessment is performed at rest, on pelvic floor muscle contraction and on Valsalva manoeuvre.
Imaging of Maternal Birth Trauma
Maternal somatic birth trauma is now understood to encompass not just episiotomy, perineal tears and obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASI), but also trauma to the levator ani muscle, termed ‘avulsion’.
