Respiratory and bowel motion are minimal in pelvic imaging, but can degrade image quality if unaccounted for. Fasting should commence 4 to 6 hours prior to pelvic MRI. Administration of intramuscular glucagon may be helpful. Utilization of a compression band to restrict motion may decrease motion-induced artifact, as may respiratory gating, triggering, and utilization of navigator echoes. The bladder should be only moderately distended, in part to minimize truncation artifacts on T2WI. Positive or negative oral contrast is not routinely utilized in MRI in the United States. T2WI but not T1WI illustrate uterine junctional anatomy, distinguishing among the endometrium—high SI due to glandular tissue—junctional zone—hypointense muscular structures—and the myometrium—a moderate SI structure on T2WI during the proliferative phase but hyperintense during the secretory phase due to increased edema and vascular flow.
