Nonfetal Imaging During Pregnancy: Acute Abdomen/Pelvis.

Nonfetal Imaging During Pregnancy: Acute Abdomen/Pelvis. Radiol Clin North Am. 2020 Mar;58(2):363-380 Authors: Moreno CC, Mittal PK, Miller FH Abstract Abdominal pain is a common occurrence in pregnant women and may have a variety of causes, including those that are specific to pregnancy (eg, round ligament pain in the first trimester) and the wide range of causes of abdominal pain that affect men and women who are not pregnant (eg, appendicitis, acute cholecystitis). Noncontrast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is increasingly performed to evaluate pregnant women with abdominal pain, either as the first-line test or as a second test following ultrasonography. The imaging appearance of causes of abdominal pain in pregnant women are reviewed with an emphasis on noncontrast MR imaging. PMID: 32044012 [PubMed - in process]
