Get Mri Pregnancy Consent Form 2014-2024

ing to the American College of Radiology (ACR) and ACOG guidelines, MRI, performed with 3.0 T scanners or less, is not associated with any adverse effects on the fetus, but it should be used prudently in any gestational ages [21,22].

A review of current evidence supports the following indications for fetal MRI: suspected central nervous system anomalies, neck and oropharyngeal masses, diaphragmatic hernia, abdominal masses or bowel pathology not fully characterized by ultrasonography, and suspected fetal infection.

I have received a thorough explanation about the purpose and risks of MRI scans by reading “Information about Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scan”, and I understand the content. As a result, I agree to have an MRI scan. (Even after you sign, you can withdraw your agreement at any time.)

Current radiology practices and recommendations discourage the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents during pregnancy because their safety for the fetus has not been proven.

MRI poses no known risk to the fetus in the second and third trimester. MRI in the first trimester should only be performed after consultation with radiology faculty. Breast feeding can be continued without interruption after administration of iodinated contrast or gadolinium to a lactating patient.

During pregnancy, informed consent can be described as the process of decision-making between a patient and the health care provider regarding the clinical management of the pregnancy.

There are no proven risks to pregnant women or unborn babies from MRI exams. Over the last 30 years, thousands of pregnant women have had MRI exams, and no known harmful effects to the baby have been found.

It is common for pregnant people to have an MRI. Pregnant people can get an MRI at any trimester. No documented reports have show any harm to patients or babies. The safety of you and your baby is our top priority.
