Abdominal pain in pregnancy is a diagnostic challenge with many potential aetiologies. Diagnostic imaging is a valuable tool in the assessment of these patients, with ultrasound commonly employed first line. MRI is an excellent problem-solving adjunct to ultrasound and has many advantages in terms of improved spatial resolution and soft tissue characterisation. This pictorial review aims to outline the role of MRI in the work up of acute abdominal pain in pregnancy and provide imaging examples of pathologies which may be encountered.
孕期腹痛是一种具有多种潜在病因的诊断挑战。诊断性影像学检查是评估这些患者的一种有价值的工具,其中超声检查通常作为一线检查手段。磁共振成像(MRI)是超声检查的一种极好的辅助诊断工具,在提高空间分辨率和软组织特征方面具有许多优势。本影像学综述旨在概述 MRI 在孕期急性腹痛评估中的作用,并提供可能遇到的病变的影像学示例。
