Morphometric Characterization of Levator Ani Subdivisions in Healthy Controls and Patients: An MRI Study Using 3D PICS
This in vivo MRI study reveals first geometric 3D data on LAM morphology in 3D PICS for both cases and controls. Exact 3D coordinates of origin/insertion points, lengths, and angles could serve as a basis for future imaging-based POP diagnostics.
