Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of imaging examination that is more targeted for differential diagnosis of certain diseases compared to imaging examinations such as ultrasound. Some pregnant women also need to undergo this examination, but they do not know which relevant department to go to in the hospital for registration. So, what department should pregnant women use for MRI?
1. When pregnant women need to undergo an MRI examination, they should register with the obstetrics and gynecology department to obtain an examination form, and then go to the imaging department for this examination. In some areas, hospitals have more detailed divisions. If they are divided into gynecology and obstetrics, you can go to the obstetrics department to obtain a registered examination form, and then you also need to go to the imaging department for examination.
2. During pregnancy, women should be cautious when undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. It is generally prohibited to undergo an MRI examination within the first three months of pregnancy. Because this examination process may temporarily rearrange the magnetic field in the female body, which can disrupt the internal magnetic field and potentially cause poor embryo development and even induce miscarriage in early pregnancy, women in early pregnancy should try to avoid such potentially dangerous examinations.
3. If a woman is in the middle or late stages of pregnancy and needs to undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for certain diseases, weighing the pros and cons, she can consider doing the examination under the guidance of a doctor. Before the examination, it should also be noted that if a pregnant woman has metal dentures in her mouth, she cannot undergo an MRI examination. You must ensure that your body is free of any metal objects before conducting this examination.
