Key Points

The research aims to assess the role of specific MRI biomarkers in evaluating pelvic floor muscle dysfunction in patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
Used multi-parametric quantitative MRI techniques.
Assessed PDFF and native T1 values as biomarkers.
Stratified disease severity based on imaging results.
PDFF and T1 values effectively assess pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.
These biomarkers correlate with the severity of POP.
Findings can inform better clinical decision-making.

Abstract

PDFF and native T1 values are valuable biomarkers for assessing pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and stratifying disease severity in patients with POP.
