Abstract

Abstract：Female genital malformations are a broad and complex spectrum of abnormalities that are often associated with primary amenorrhea, infertility, obstetric complications, and endometriosis.Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is routinely used in evaluation of infertility. Because a key component of MDAs characterization is the external uterine fundal contour, HSG is limited for this purpose. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is typically reserved for complex or indeterminate cases. MR imaging is the imaging standard of reference because it is noninvasive, does not involve ionizing radiation, has multiplanar capability, allows excellent soft-tissue characterization. Use of MR imaging for evaluation of MDAs reduces the number of invasive procedures and related costs by guiding management decisions. MR imaging is currently the imaging modality of choice due to its reliability and accuracy.
