MRI of the female pelvis displays the best anatomical information on the sagittal section. The standard sequence used in the MRI examination of the female pelvis in the sagittal section is the T2 Weighted Turbo Spin Echo (T2W TSE) . However, the use of the Turbo Spin Echo (TSE) is sensitive to movement , so that motion artifacts often appear. To reduce artifacts researchers tried a T2 Weighted Multivane sequence on MRI of the female sagittal pelvis. This study aims to determine the differences in anatomical image information between the T2 Weighted Turbo Spin Echo sequences ( T2TSE) and T2 Weighted Multivane (T2WM) and to find out which sequence is more optimal in producing anatomical image information on MRI examination of the female pelvis in the Sagittal section . This type of research is quasi experimental. Data were obtained from 10 volunteers who were examined using the MRI 3 Tesla device at the Radiology Installation at dr. Saiful Anwar Malang. Each volunteer was examined using the T2WTSE dan T2WM sequents on the sagital section. The resulting image was then assessed by 2 radiologist. Data analysis was carried out using the Wilcoxon test , while the selection of the best sequence used the mean rank. Significance test using ? = 0 , 05 . The results of statistical tests showed that there was a significant difference in Female Pelvic MRI images between the T2 WTSE and T2 WM sequences ( p-value <0.05). The mean rank value indacates that T2WM is more optimal in producing image information. The highest mean rank in rectal anatomy is T2WM 5.00.
