MR imaging of a diverticulum in a female urethra.
The case of a 44-year-old woman with urethral diverticulum is described. The lesion was initially detected by ultrasonography. MRI proved to be very sensitive in localising and delineating the urethral diverticulum and could differentiate it from lesions arising from the vagina or bladder.
