Abstract
The assessment of patients with pelvic floor dysfunction necessitates a combination of clinical skills and adjunct investigations, including detailed imaging. This article reviews a variety of static and dynamic imaging modalities available in the field of urogynaecology, with an emphasis on their clinical implication in identifying the structural and functional causes of pelvic floor disorders. A number of different modalities have been used including X-rays, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. Their place and value are discussed with comments on the validity of the various techniques.
