Mid sagittal TRUFI MRI images at rest depicting various lines and angles for analysis of magnetic resonance defecography. Pubo-coccygeal line (PCL) is drawn from last coccygeal joint to inferior margin of pubis (a) with H (hiatal) line drawn from inferior border of pubis to ano-rectal junction (b). The angle formed between long axis of anal canal and posterior rectal wall is called ano-rectal angle and is normally obtuse at rest (c). At rest, ano-rectal angle and bladder neck lie above PCL (d)
