The Urogenital System

The external female genital organs include the labia majora and minora, the vestibule of vagina, and the clitoris, jointly referred to as the vulva. Since most women seek medical attention anyway when they notice abnormal changes in this area, whole-body screening by MRI is not expected to reveal any pathology here, and the external female genitalia will not be dealt with further in this chapter. The internal genital organs include the vagina (which, for the same reason, will not be discussed here), the cervix, the uterus, and the paired ovaries with the fallopian tubes.
