Fig. 2A —Anatomic dissection and MR images of ventral and dorsal groups of urethral supporting ligaments and their corresponding MR appearance in healthy nulliparous volunteers. Digital image of top view of female cadaver in which symphysis pubis (SP) was divided in midline shows proximal pubourethral (PUL) (pink arrow), intermediate PUL (blue arrow), and distal PUL (green arrow). Another ligament (white arrow) that is lateral to proximal PUL—referred to as "suburethral ligament"—extends from lateral pelvic wall to dorsolateral aspect of urethra (U). Transverse band (red diamonds) traversing anterior to proximal urethra is periurethral ligament. BN = bladder neck.
