Abstract
ble information to the discussion of female urethral anatomy. Magn Reson Med 45:138--146, 2001. 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc. Key words: female urethra; endourethral MRI; high-resolution; coaxial choke; decoupling paddle Detailed anatomic information about the female urethra and pelvic floor is currently unavailable by any diagnostic imaging technique. This information would provide a significant contribution to the understanding of urinary incontinence and other urethral abnormalities, and would be a valuable aid in surgical planning and therapeutic regimens (1). Although normal female pelvic anatomy, as well as pelvic abnormalities, have been reported with the help of body and pelvic phased-array coil MRI (2--5), controversy (2--10) remains about the nature of the urethral layers as demonstrated with MRI. The currently available spatial resolution in MRI of the urethra has not been sufficient to provide an unambiguous correlation of the urethral layers, mucosa, sub
