This article reviews the literature on radiation exposure for pregnant women, discussing the different risks depending on the gestational age and potential health effects of diagnostic imaging procedures. It also emphasizes the importance of improved communication to minimize unnecessary radiation exposure to pregnant women and their fetuses.
Healthcare providers have acknowledged the dangers of radiation exposure to embryonic and fetal health, yet diagnostic imaging of pregnant women is increasing. Literature that pertains to the topic of interest was reviewed to collect tertiary data. The purpose of this literature review was to present the various radiation risks for pregnant women and the fetus depending on the gestational age of the pregnancy. The specific effects of radiation on pregnant women and the fetus, X-ray risks depending on the gestational age of the pregnancy, and other potential health effects when performing diagnostic imaging procedures on pregnant women were discussed in this review. In addition, ethical issues have been considered by improving overall communication to minimize unnecessary radiation exposure to pregnant women and fetuses.
