  Diagnostic test Diagnostic testA test used to detect or assess a condition, such as imaging or a laboratory test.

  patients were asked to fill the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Questionnaire - Short Form 20. The imaging was performed using a GE Voluson S8 machine. A conventional linear 2D transducer (5-8 MHz) with a field of view of at least 70° was used. For tomographic or multi-slice imaging, a volumetric probe (6-8 MHz) was employed. 2D measures: Bladder neck height ( BN) , Retrovesical angle (RVA) at rest and valsalva, Bladder wall Thickness (BWT), Post micturition Residual volume. For 3D measures Measurements were analyzed offline, assessing the levator hiatal anteroposterior and transverse diameters, Levator Haital area (LHA), Pubovisceral muscle thickness at 3 and 9 o'clock, Pubovisceral muscle length, right and left levator urethral gap and urethral anal distance.
