Fig. 1. Normal MR anatomy (T2-weighted images) of the uterus and cervix. a Three zones are recognized in the uterus: the hyperintense endometrium, the hypointense junctional zone (arrow) and the outer layer of the myometrium of intermediate signal intensity. b Four zones are distinguished in the cervix: the hyperintense mucous within the endocervical canal, the cervical mucosa, the hypointense cervical stroma (arrowheads), and an additional layer of smooth muscle b

Normal ovaries measure between 1.5 and 3 cm during reproductive age while their size decreasing after menopause. They can be easily diagnosed by the presence of T2-weighted hyperintense follicles (Fig. 2).
