title: Anatomy and physiology of the female pelvis: MR imaging revisited.
abstract: This article reviews the normal anatomy of the female pelvis and focuses on uterine physiology, presenting the kinematics of the uterus that can be identified on ultra-fast MR imaging. It also discusses the many facets of the junctional zone on MR imaging. Ultra-fast MR imaging seems to be a powerful tool for evaluating normal anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the uterus. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2001;13:842-849.
