“…After reviewing the abstracts, we retrieved 21 potentially eligible articles relating to unselected series of consecutive women with a diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis during pregnancy. Of these articles, three were excluded because impedance plethysmography was used to diagnose deep vein thrombosis, [15][16][17] nine were excluded because the anatomic description of the thrombi was inadequate, [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] one was excluded because of patient selection bias, 27 and two were excluded because of potential duplication of reporting. 28,29 We abstracted data from the remaining six articles [30][31][32][33][34][35] (Table 1).…”

“…Ultrasound is used to screening for clot in the lower extremities. If pelvic clot is of concern then MR venography can be performed (43). Clot causes local distention of the veins with heterogeneous material on SSFSE sequences.…”

Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for pregnant patients. However, MRI is increasingly utilized in patients in whom the sonographic diagnosis is unclear. These include maternal conditions unique to pregnancy such as ectopic pregnancy, placenta accreta, and uterine dehiscence. MRI is also being increasingly utilized in the assessment of abdominopelvic pain in pregnancy, in particular in assessment for appendicitis. Fetal MRI is performed to assess central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities and patients who are considering fetal surgery for conditions such as neural tube defects, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and masses that obstruct the airway. In the future, functional MRI and fetal volumetry may provide additional information that can aid in our care of complicated pregnancies.

“…Magnetic resonance imaging may also be of value in detecting thromboses in the femoral, iliac, and ovarian veins during pregnancy. 30 Venography is widely held to be the standard for establishing a diagnosis of deep-vein thrombosis. 25 Some authorities still recommend that positive results of noninvasive studies should be confirmed by venography before a pregnant woman is exposed to the risks of prolonged anticoagulation; the risks to the fetus caused by the radiation used in venography are negligible (Table 1).…”
