Radiology examinations that involve radiation are generally not recommended during pregnancy unless necessary. Always inform your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant. If imaging is required, steps may be taken to minimize radiation exposure or postpone the test if possible.
Your doctor may recommend a radiology test to diagnose, evaluate, or monitor a medical condition, such as:
