Standard MRI sequences need to be able to distinguish normal transient physiological uterine contractions from true pathology to avoid diagnostic error. The routine utility of a repeat T2-weighted sagittal sequence performed at the conclusion of a patient's examination was shown to improve reader confidence in distinguishing transient contractions from true uterine pathology while adding minimal time penalty to the overall examination. It is therefore advocated that all premenopausal female pelvic MRI cases have a T2 sagittal series as the initial and then the final series as part of a routine protocol.
