Fig. 1B —Healthy 28-year-old male athlete. Coronal proton
density–weighted MR image slightly more posterior than A shows
lateral (solid arrow) and medial (asterisk) heads of rectus
abdominis continue to be visualized. Inguinal ligament (open arrow)
attaches onto pubic tubercle medially, with contralateral spermatic cord (S)
visualized superior to ligament. Note triangular tendon (arrowhead)
that provides origin for left adductor longus tendon, which is essentially
continuous superiorly as tendon of origin for rectus abdominis. Immediately
lateral to pubic tubercle, pectineus muscle (P) gains origin from superior
pubic ramus, which is slightly posterior and thus not seen on this image.
