Radiographic Anatomy of the Female Pelvis

Fig. 23.4 MRI of the female pelvis
Transverse section, inferior view. (from Hamm, B. et al.: MRT von Abdomen und Becken, 2. Aufl. Thieme, Stuttgart 2006). The image shows the low-signal intensity cervical stroma (arrows), which surrounds the narrow high-signal intensity canalis cervicis uteri.

Transverse section, inferior view.

Fig. 23.6 MRI of the female pelvis
Sagittal section, left lateral view. (from Hamm, B. et al.: MRT von Abdomen und Becken, 2. Aufl. Thieme, Stuttgart 2006). The image shows the uterus in the first half of the menstrual cycle (proliferative phase) with narrow endometrium and relatively low-signal intensity of the mymoetrium.
