Clinical Value of Dual-Modality Imaging Based on MRI and DTI in the Diagnosis of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Objective To investigate the clinical value of dual-modality imaging based on MRI and DTI in diagnosing PFD.Methods A total of 50 patients with PFD admitted to the First People's Hospital of Kashgar(PFD group)and 30 normal volunteers(control group)were included in the study at the same time.All subjects were examined with MRI and DTI dual-modality imaging techniques.Comparison was made between the groups in terms of clinical data,scan areas of pelvic floor muscles(iliococcygeus muscle,pubococcygeal muscle and puborectal muscle),width of anal levator hiatus,pelvic floor marker lines(H line and M line),ICT,ICA,LPA,FA and ADC values of iliococcygeus muscle and puborectal muscle.Results General data of the two groups were comparable(P>0.05).Compared to control group,areas of static and dynamic iliococcygeus muscle,pubococcygeal muscle and puborectal muscle were smaller in PFD group(P<0.05).The width of static and dynamic anal levator hiatus was larger in PFD group.H line and M line were longer in PFD group(P<0.05).ICT was smaller and LPA was greater in PFD group.The two groups had similar ICA,and comparable FA and ADC values of iliococcygeus muscle and puborectal muscle(P>0.05).Condtssion Dual-modality imaging based on MRI and DTI can reflect the changes of pelvic floor function and morphology in patients with PFD.It has good application value in patients with PFD.
