Research Abstract |
We demonstrated the PROPELLER methods as the useful tool to obtain detailed anatomical image of the uterus to elucidate its underlying structure. We successfully visualize fiber tract of uterine myometrium using diffusion tensor imaging. Regarding kinematic imaging, we reported changes of uterine peristalsis associated with various infertility-associated conditions(infertility, uterine myoma pre and post treatment, after delivery), and visualize fertility-associated uterine changes using MRI. In addition, we achieved visualization of uterine arteries without using contrast agent.
