By Shalmali Pal
The spectrum of abnormalities detected at MRI in women with stress urinary incontinence can be classified into two categories: findings related to urethral sphincter deficiency (ISD) and/or urethral hypermobility (UH). Researchers from Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions assessed if MR findings could predict whether a patient had ISD or UH, and if those results could be correlated with urodynamics.
