Upright 0.5 T open MR defaecating proctography proof of concept study: the inter- and intra-rater variability of pelvic floor measures using seated proctography
The proposed uMRDP technique can be used as a feasible and reliable alternative to supine MRDP, without the necessity of gadolinium injection and bowel preparation. It can capture defaecation in a regular seated posture and can provide information complementary to standard-of-care fluoroscopic proctography for clinicians.
