Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For many decades, pelvic imaging has been poorly explored, mainly because of the technical limitations that made it difficult to obtain good quality images, and surgical exploration was required for diagnosing and staging most pelvic pathologies. Nowadays, thanks to the rapid technical developments that enabled us to obtain high-quality diagnostic images that accurately depict the pelvic content, pelvic imaging has become a cornerstone in differential diagnosis, preoperative planning, and extension evaluation of almost every pelvic disease.
In comparison to the male pelvis, the female pelvis is characterized by a more complex anatomy and is associated with a wider spectrum of benign, and malignant pathologies. Moreover, female pelvic structures undergo important changes during the life cycle.
The aim of this Special Issue is to illustrate the state-of-the-art in the imaging of the female pelvis, for benign and malignant, structural and functional, pathologies, in order to help radiologists and gynecologists in their everyday clinical practice.
