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.
