Geometric analysis of the urethral‐vaginal interface curvature in women with and without stress urinary incontinence: A pilot magnetic resonance imaging study
Abstract:Aims: To evaluate differences in the curvature of the urethral-vaginal interface in women with and without stress urinary incontinence (SUI) using geometric morphometric analysis techniques.
Methods:We conducted a pilot case-control study using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of 18 women with and without SUI. The urethral-vaginal interface at the level of the mid-urethra was fitted with a second-order polynomial regression. The chord length and chord-to-vertex length of the resulting parabolic curve wer… Show more
