Article Synopsis
- Previous studies show that many healthcare providers overestimate the risks of radiation from imaging during pregnancy, leading to a reluctance to perform necessary imaging, even when it could greatly benefit patient care.
- This study aimed to assess current knowledge and confidence levels regarding imaging pregnant patients among various medical specialists through an anonymous survey, including radiologists and OB/GYN providers.
- The survey results revealed a general correct response rate of 68.5% across 18 questions, highlighting significant variability in knowledge, with some questions showing low correct response rates and most respondents feeling only "fairly" confident in their imaging decisions.
