Dynamic MRI of the pelvic floor: comparison of performance in supine vs. left lateral body position.

CONCLUSIONS: In lateral position more patients were able to evacuate with similar grades of pelvic floor de-scent compared to supine position. MRD in lateral position may be a valuable alternative for patients unable to defecate in supine position. Advances in knowledge: In lateral position more patients were able to evacuate during MRD MRD in lateral position may be an alternative for patients unable to defecate in supine position.
