Dynamic MR of the pelvic floor: Influence of alternative methods to draw the pubococcygeal line (PCL) on the grading of pelvic floor descent

Conclusions: PCLtip is a reliable and highly reproducible option to the official PCLcc to correctly grade the pelvic floor descent and could be used when the PCLcc is not clearly visible. The use of PCLsc overestimates the grading compared to the official PCLcc and should not be used to avoid wrong patients’ management.
