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.
