Popis: Selection and design of the most appropriate imaging studies during an emergency involving pregnant and/or potentially pregnant female has been the topic of numerous recent articles. While radiation dose must be limited to the necessary amount, a cautious application must never be so severe as to compromise the ability to make the correct diagnosis.
