- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. Image analysis of the visibility of the nerves of the sacral plexus and the pudendal nerve and pelvic nerve on the MRI images obtained with the different parameter settings following a score system;<br /><br>2. Analysis of the anatomy of the sacral plexus. The branching of the roots will be assessed;<br /><br>3. Image analysis of the Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR) on the different MRI images obtained with the different parameter settings. The mean and SD's of the CNR's will be compared witch each other to assess the image quality;<br /><br>4. Calculation of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and the fractional anisotropy (FA) to get insight in the nature of the diffusion. This in view of our follow-up study in children.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The number of non-analyzable images will be registered.
