Aims and Objectives	This workshop aims to provide a detailed overview of the application of ultrasound imaging to the assessment of morphology and function of the pelvic floor in men and women. Emphasis will be placed on evaluation of muscle function and its utility in guiding conservative management of pelvic floor dysfunction, including the application of ultrasound imaging as a feedback tool for rehabilitation. The session will include live demonstrations of methods and opportunities for audience involvement in discussion. Presenters will discuss anatomy and imaging techniques for female and male anatomy and the level of evidence for its utilisation in clinical care. Learning Objectives How to use 2D ultrasound imaging (USI) to evaluate pelvic floor morphology and function in men and women. How to interpret dynamic USI measures of pelvic morphology during functional tasks and how they relate to clinical pelvic floor assessment outcomes in men and women. How 2D USI can be used to enhance pelvic floor muscle training for individuals with pelvic floor disorders.
