Cover Story: This retrospective study evaluated pelvic anatomical variations in 250 women using MRI to identify potential imaging biomarkers for pelvic floor disorders. We compared measurements including bladder wall thickness, vaginal wall thickness, and urethral length across patients with and without incontinence. While bladder wall thickness appeared thinner in those with incontinence, this association was not statistically significant after rigorous correction. Our findings highlight that static MRI-derived anatomy alone is insufficient to predict functional disorders, underscoring the need for dynamic and functional imaging approaches to better guide diagnosis and management. View this paper
