MRI of female genital tract congenital anomalies: European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) guidelines.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To develop imaging guidelines for the MR work-up of female genital tract congenital anomalies (FGTCA).

Methods

These guidelines were prepared based on a questionnaire sent to all members of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) Female Pelvic Imaging Working Group (FPI-WG), critical review of the literature and expert consensus decision.

Results

Conclusions

The multiplanar capabilities and soft tissue resolution of MRI provide super
