[Conditions for performing CT and MRI scans in pregnant and lactating patients]. : Att tänka på vid neuroradiologisk diagnostik av gravida och ammande.

• Many women are pregnant during several percent of their lives. Occasionally, there is a need for neuroradiological examinations during pregnancy or lactation. In our clinical work, we regularly see that female patients are being withheld relevant diagnostic scans during pregnancy, due to insufficient knowledge or an unbalanced comparison between benefits and risks. This article describes the current knowledge regarding conditions for performing CT and MRI scans in pregnant and lactating patients, including the use of contrast media. PET scans and reactions to contrast media are briefly mentioned, but interventional radiology is not discussed.
