To review the literature on uterine contraction and to highlight magnetic resonance imaging using the cine technique as a useful method to evaluate these movements.
The literature research on PubMed database was done up to February 2019 with restriction to English language about articles regarding uterine peristalsis and cine MR.
Infertility is a common clinical problem and a source of frustration for those who want to have children. Uterine movements are crucial elements in respect of successful conception, implantation, and the development of a healthy pregnancy. It is known that the direction and frequency of uterine peristalsis are closely related to the different phases of the menstrual cycle, and that changes in its activity may interfere with reproduction. One condition that has been linked with infertility by several studies is dysfunctional uterine contractility. Magnetic resonance imaging, using the cine technique, has been shown to be a useful tool in the evaluation of these movements, allowing the identification of patients with some type of dysfunction and establish strategies to increase pregnancy rates.
Cine MR is an excellent imaging method for the evaluation of uterine peristalsis and identification of dysfunctional contractions.
回顾关于子宫收缩的文献，并强调电影磁共振成像技术作为评估这些运动的有用方法。
对 PubMed 数据库进行文献检索，截至 2019 年 2 月，仅限于关于子宫蠕动和电影磁共振成像的英文文章。
不孕是一个常见的临床问题，也是那些想要孩子的人的挫折来源。子宫运动是成功受孕、着床和健康妊娠发展的关键因素。已知子宫蠕动的方向和频率与月经周期的不同阶段密切相关，其活动的变化可能会干扰生殖。几项研究将功能失调性子宫收缩力与不孕联系起来。电影磁共振成像技术已被证明是评估这些运动的有用工具，可以识别出某些类型的功能障碍，并制定提高妊娠率的策略。
电影磁共振成像是评估子宫蠕动和识别功能失调收缩的极好的成像方法。
