Semin Ultrasound CT MR
February 2012
Article Synopsis
- Nontraumatic abdominal pain in pregnant patients can have many causes, making it difficult for healthcare providers to diagnose due to symptom overlap with normal pregnancy.
- Concerns about the effects of ionizing radiation on the fetus have led to advancements in medical imaging techniques, aiming to reduce or eliminate its use during pregnancy.
- Current diagnostic practices for pregnant patients largely rely on non-ionizing imaging methods, particularly ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, to ensure safety while effectively identifying potential issues.
