Abstract

The vagina is often difficult to evaluate on cross-sectional imaging. Therefore, proficiency in imaging techniques and MR imaging protocols to enhance visualization is critical. An understanding of vaginal anatomy and embryology allows identification of varying congenital anomalies. Vaginal lesions may initially be divided into solid and cystic lesions. Further characterization by imaging features will help differentiate benign from malignant lesions.
