Fig. 3A. —24-year-old healthy female volunteer. Color scheme: white = bones, pink = levator ani, yellow = bladder and urethra, blue = vagina, green = uterus, gray = rectum. Dorsal lithotomy view of three-dimensional (3D) model shows healthy female pelvis. Model was created with software developed in house. This software allows super-imposition of gray-scale source images on 3D models in corresponding anatomic locations. View mimics that used by gynecologists when examining patients or performing surgery. Arcus tendineus fasciae (arrowheads), known by gynecologists as white line of pelvis, is commonly disrupted in women with pelvic organ prolapse. Boundaries of levator hiatus are delineated by stars.
