Now, let's review the anatomy of the uterus in

0:03

a bit more detail.

0:05

We can segment the uterus into the fundus

0:08

which is the most Superior portion of the uterus as

0:11

well as the body which is the bulk of

0:14

the uterus inferiorly. We have the cervix again

0:17

anterior and posterior lip and then as I

0:20

mentioned we see the vagina on this sagittal T2 weighted image

0:23

of the pelvis.

0:25

We again see those distinct layers of the uterus.

0:28

We have the relatively T2

0:31

ISO intense to hyperintense myometrium that

0:34

T2 dark junctional Zone

0:37

the portions of the image labeled with

0:40

an asterisk. Here are the endometrium

0:43

We also at the orange error are able to see this thin

0:46

black line that's outlining the uterus. That's

0:49

the cirrhosa. That's that peritoneal covering that is

0:52

along the exterior of the uterus.

0:56

This is another T2 weighted image of the pelvis. We

0:59

can see the ovaries out here. Laterally. We

1:02

also see some of the suspensary ligaments of the pelvis. So

1:05

these are the broad ligaments and then these are

1:08

the round ligaments labeled in purple.
