Abstract

OBJECTIVE. Chronic lower urinary tract symptoms are common in women. We present a classification of abnormalities that can be considered in the differential diagnosis for lower urinary tract symptoms and can show the value of dedicated state-of-the art MRI in the workup of patients. CONCLUSION. Dedicated MRI tailored to patient symptoms and clinical findings has the potential to map out morphologic causes and categorize dysfunctional conditions from those that are truly nonmorphologic.
