Zusammenfassung:The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the positioning and to confirm the volume concept of the Lea’s Shield diaphragm utilizing MR imaging. We evaluated the device in two women, one nulliparous and one multiparous. We were able to comprehensively evaluate the device in both patients and answer all questions regarding anatomical positioning and aspects pertaining to the morphology of the device relevant to its function. MRI may be effectively utilized to evaluate contraceptive devices and their relationship to adjacent anatomical structures. This may enhance the gynecologist’s clinical assessment of its correct positioning and efficacy.
