Subjects were screened with symptom questionnaires (ICIQ-B, St Mark's faecal incontinence score, obstructed defaecation syndrome score, ICIQ-V, BSAQ). dMRI and TPFUS were performed and interpreted by blinded clinicians according to previously published methods. // Results: The subjects comprised six parous and 14 nulliparous women, of whom three were postmenopausal. There were three with a rectocoele on both modalities and one with a rectocoele on dMRI only. There was one with intussusception on TPFUS. Two had an enterocoele on both modalities and one on TPFUS only. There were six with a cystocoele on both modalities, one on dMRI only and one on TPFUS only. On dMRI, there were 12 with functional features. Four also displayed functional features on TPFUS. Two displayed functional features on TPFUS only. // Conclusion: This study demonstrates the presence of abnormal findings on dMRI and TPFUS without symptoms. There was a high rate of functional features on dMRI. This series is not large enough to redefine normal parameters but is helpful for appreciating the wide range of findings seen in health. date: 2023-10 date_type: published publisher: Wiley official_url: https://doi.org/10.1111/codi.16709 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2045057 doi: 10.1111/codi.16709 medium: Print-Electronic lyricists_name: Emmanuel, Anton lyricists_name: Taylor, Stuart lyricists_id: AVEMM74 lyricists_id: STAYL70 actors_name: Taylor, Stuart actors_id: STAYL70 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Colorectal Disease volume: 25 number: 10 pagerange: 2001-2009 event_location: England issn: 1462-8910 citation: Hainsworth, Alison J; Premakumar, Yaamini S; Griffin, Nyree; Solanki, Deepa; Morris, Samantha J; Ferrari, Linda; Emmanuel, Anton; ...
