Sagittal images of anterior perineum using abdominal probe.

Young subject, with physiologic high vesical suspension and low mobility. The lines represent pubis axis and urethral axis that permit to calculate the inclination angle of urethral axis, expression of mobility of urethra and bladder neck. The images are at rest (1), during abdominal hyperpressure (2), and during perineal contraction (3).

 

(1) At rest
