Small, prospective study: MRI for abdominal, pelvic pain during pregnancy.(Obstetrics)
MIAMI BEACH -- Magnetic resonance imaging safely and accurately diagnosed the source of abdominal or pelvic pain in 28 of 29 pregnant women in a prospective study.
MRI is considered safer for pregnant women than x-rays or CT scans because it does not use ionizing radiation. Magnetic resonance and radiofrequency pulses are not associated with cancer or fetal malformations, Dr. Katherine R. Birchard said at the annual meeting of the American Roentgen Ray Society.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina Hospitals in Chapel Hill and University of California San Diego Healthcare hospitals prospectively assessed 29 women between June 2002 and April 2004.
Participants were referred for acute abdominal or pelvic pain and underwent fetal ultrasound before further imaging. Six patients had an ultrasound examination before MRI; for the other 23 patients, MRI was the primary means of diagnostic imaging. All participants had multiplanar, multisequence images of their abdomen and pelvis, said Dr. Birchard of the University of North Carolina.
