Abstract

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in assessing pelvic organ prolapse (POP), and automated pelvic floor landmark localization potentially accelerates MRI-based measurements of POP. Herein, we aimed to develop and evaluate a deep learning-based technique for automated localization of POP-related landmarks.
