Abstract
The intent of this chapter is to highlight the basic tactile imaging achievements in the biomechanical characterization of the female pelvic floor and the future directions that may have significant clinical impacts. The transvaginal biomechanical mapping is capable to characterize biomechanical integrity of the pelvic with the Biomechanical Integrity score, pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence, chronic pelvic pain, and tissue atrophy. It can predict outcomes of urogynecological surgery and quantify real changes after the surgery. It has a potential to diagnose endometriosis, adenomyosis and uterine fibroids, cervical and ovarian cancer, and even conditions leading to spontaneous preterm delivery and predicting maternal birth trauma. The TI, diagnostic, and treatment capabilities can be extended by TI fusion with ultrasound and electromyography.
