The purpose of this study is to determine the value of dynamic imaging in the MR evaluation of the female urethra. In 99 patients with urethral symptoms, dynamic imaging with a True Fisp sequence revealed that 33.3% had unsuspected organ prolapse. Among the 12 patients with urethral pathology, such as urethral diverticulum, 50% also demonstrated prolapse. Our data show that the addition of a dynamic sequence to the MR evaluation of patients with urethral symptoms is of added diagnostic value.
