Obstetric complications are a common source of morbidity and mortality for women of reproductive age. Imaging, particularly with ultrasound, is often supplementary to the clinical history and examination in assessing and treating women during the postpartum period. Radiologists should be familiar with the common abnormalities that present in this period and their imaging findings, as well as the wide range of normal appearances the postpartum uterus can assume.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
