Magnetic resonance evaluation of congenital uterine anomalies.
Congenital malformations of the uterus (also known as müllerian duct anomalies) exist as a spectrum of disorders; each of these, to some extent, is associated with reproductive dysfunction. Significant improvements in imaging methods such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance have the potential to eliminate the need for invasive evaluation of patients with suspected uterine anomalies. This article reviews the relevant embryology and classification of müllerian duct anomalies as well as the relationship between the imaging features and general therapeutic options.
