| Description | With the increasing possibilities and availability of imaging methods, we focused on a minority group of patients – pregnant women. In the article we offer a brief overview of the imaging modalities that can or cannot be used and under what conditions. Information was drawn from current Czech and foreign literature dealing with this issue. When investigating pregnant patients, the guideline applies – first of all, using imaging methods without radiation. Under certain circumstances, imaging methods using ionizing radiation must be used. In these cases, we only select those examinations that are strictly necessary to diagnose the pathological condition and we follow the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principles. |
