"mid-pubic line: this line, also known as the MPL, is drawn along the axis of the pubic symphysis and then perpendicular lines are drawn from the organ-specific reference points in the same manner as the PCL; this line is said to correspond anatomically to the hymenal opening"

Line 23:211 · 'PCL' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"H line: from the pubic symphysis to the posterior aspect of the anorectal junction, and corresponds to the AP diameter of the hiatus"

Line 24:122 · 'AP' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Axial, coronal and sagittal T2W sequences of the pelvis are acquired to assess for structural abnormalities of the endopelvic fascia, pelvic viscera and musculature."

Line 15:4 · Use the Oxford comma in 'Axial, coronal and sagittal'.

"The dynamic study is carried out by acquiring cine images in the sagittal plane with a steady state sequence. This is similar to the sequence used for cardiac imaging. The dynamic sequences are acquired during squeezing, straining and evacuation. Prior to the evacuation sequence, 100-150 mL of ultrasound gel is instilled per rectum. Ultrasound gel is used as it is easy to acquire, manipulate into syringes, and is clearly seen on the cine sequences."

Line 16:221 · Use the Oxford comma in 'squeezing, straining and evacuation'.

"pubococcygeal line: a line joining the inferior aspect of the pubic symphysis to the final coccygeal joint, with perpendicular lines drawn to this line from organ specific reference points in the anterior, middle and posterior compartments; this line corresponds to the plane of the levator muscle"

Line 22:211 · Use the Oxford comma in 'anterior, middle and posterior'.
