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’.
