چکیده
Aims of course/workshop This workshop will familiarize attendees with the basic methodology and clinical uses of pelvic floor ultrasound imaging, both using 2D ultrasound and 3D/ 4D technology, including the detection and assessment of pelvic floor trauma. Depending on local conditions, we may also be able to use live scan demonstrations to illustrate examination methodology and common conditions.

Transabdominal Ultrasound Measurement of Pelvic Floor Muscle Activity When Activated via a Transversus Abdominis Muscle
Aims of Study This study aimed to investigate the relationship of pelvic floor muscle and transversus abdominis (TA) muscle activity during a pelvic floor (PF) muscle contraction. Sapsford et al (1) investigated this relationship using EMG and found there to be consistent co-contraction between these two muscles. Due to this finding, it has been hypothesised that the pelvic floor muscles can be...
متن کاملInvestigation of transabdominal real-time ultrasound to visualise the muscles of the pelvic floor.
Clinical measurement of pelvic floor muscle activity commonly involves techniques that are both physically and psychologically invasive. This study investigated transabdominal application of ultrasound to measure pelvic floor muscle action. The specific aims were to establish the face validity of ultrasound measures of displacement of the posterior bladder wall as a reflection of pelvic floor m...
متن کاملUltrasound imaging of the pelvic floor. Part I: two-dimensional aspects.
Ultrasound imaging is rapidly replacing radiological methods in the investigation of pelvic floor disorders. Transrectal, transvaginal/introital and transperineal/translabial methods are being employed, with the latter probably the most widespread due to ease of use and availability of equipment. Position and mobility of the bladder neck, bladder wall thickness, pelvic floor muscle activity and...

Aims of course/workshop This workshop aims to provide the principles of the ultrasound application in urogynecology in order to complete the clinical assessment and to improve diagnostic skills into routine urogynecological practice. The course is intended to give clinicians ideas about the standard requirements for basic 2D-3D pelvic floor ultrasound: after attending this workshop the particip...
متن کاملUltrasound imaging of the pelvic floor. Part II: three-dimensional or volume imaging.
In this second part of a review of pelvic floor ultrasound imaging, current three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound technology and its use for imaging pelvic floor structure and function is described. Recent technical developments enable rapid automated volume acquisition in real time, and currently available transducers designed for abdominal use are well suited for translabial/transperineal imaging...
