| Summary: | This book represents a landmark in the development of an imaging subspecialty that crosses the clinical boundaries of urogynaecology and coloproctology. It is the first text to consider the imaging of all pelvic floor disorders, addressing in detail both urinary and faecal incontinence and the various forms of prolapse. The book commences with a magnetic resonance-based review of the anatomy of the pelvic floor and an overview of how it functions; chapters on investigation and treatment then follow. The text is supported by sufficient clinical detail to enable radiologists to understand more clearly the context within which imaging technique selection and interpretation take place. Indeed, the spirit of interaction between clinicians and radiologists has been a guiding light for this book, and while the emphasis is radiological, much of the content will be of interest to clinicians desiring a better comprehension of functional disorders throughout the pelvis. It is hoped that this book will assist in drawing attention to the enormous potential of imaging to change our understanding and the treatment of pelvic floor disorders.
