  		Fig. 2A. —Urethral diverticulum in 39-year-old woman. Left paramedian T2-weighted sagittal MR image (TR/TE, 4.3/2.2; flip angle, 37°) obtained using 3D true fast imaging with steady-state free precession sequence while patient voids shows part of urethral diverticulum (arrows) anterior to proximal urethra (U). Reformatted coronal image (asterisk) also shows part of diverticulum left lateral to proximal urethra. Ostium or neck is not visible on this image and could not be identified on other MR images (not shown).

  		Fig. 2B. —Urethral diverticulum in 39-year-old woman. Three-dimensional reformatted CT voiding cysto-urethrography (VCUG) image (left posterior view) shows ostium (arrowhead) of diverticulum (arrows) surrounding proximal urethra (U) anterolaterally. Proximal urethra is abnormally dilated because of previous surgery.
