5. Male pelvis CT#2, axial plane
The plane of imaging is through the symphysis pubis and the tip of the coccyx.
The femoral artery and vein are continuations of the external
iliac vessels below the inguinal ligament. The urethra is difficult to discern
within the prostate. The left spermatic cord is well seen; the right
had been previously removed. The ischiorectal fossa is bounded medially
by the external anal sphincter/levator ani, laterally by the ischial tuberosity
and obturator internus, and posteriorly by the gluteus maximus.
