MRI vs CT for pelvic measurements in pregnancy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an MRI can replace the usual CT scan to measure the size of your pelvis before a planned C-section. It aims to avoid radiation exposure during pregnancy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 33 and 41 weeks pregnant.
- You had a previous C-section and your doctor has ordered a pelvimetry CT scan for your next pregnancy.
- Your pelvimetry is planned ahead of time (not an emergency).
- You are willing and able to sign a consent form after reading the study details.
- You have no metal implants, pacemaker, or other reasons you can't have an MRI.
- You are not severely claustrophobic and can lie on your back without discomfort.

This trial is for people who have symptoms that might be caused by endometriosis and are being referred for a pelvic MRI. It uses MRI (a scan) to help doctors better understand suspected pelvic endometriosis.
This study compares advanced ultrasound techniques (3D TVUS and 3D GIS) with MRI to see which is better at diagnosing a uterine septum—a wall-like tissue inside the uterus that can affect fertility or cause miscarriage. If you are a woman aged 18–45 with a possible septum found on a routine ultrasound, you may be eligible.
This study tests whether doing an MRI during a specific window of pregnancy is safe and useful. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older and your pregnancy is between 16 and 36 weeks.
This study uses advanced MRI pictures of the fetus (the baby) and placenta to better understand normal development and possible problems. You may qualify if you’re between 18 and 40 weeks pregnant and can have the MRI safely.
