AUGS/IUGA Scientific Meeting 2019-4D Transperineal Ultrasound of the Female Pelvic Floor

4D Transperineal Ultrasound of the Female Pelvic Floor

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video provides an overview of dynamic 3D transperineal ultrasound of the pelvic floor. It highlights how this imaging technique can be used to assess the structure of the levator ani muscle, multi-compartment pelvic organ prolapse, and anatomical changes during valsalva and pelvic muscle contraction. The video demonstrates the use of a 4-8 MHz curved array transducer and the recommended ultrasound settings for optimal image acquisition. It also explains the process of rendering and the importance of capturing the relevant levator anatomy. The video concludes by discussing the potential applications of transperineal ultrasound beyond levator anatomy assessment. No credits are mentioned in the video.
