Managing a pregnant patient with a suspected nonobstetric abdominopelvic disorder is challenging. Information from imaging affects the treatment options, which range from operating emergently and risking miscarriage to terminating the pregnancy or delaying treatment until after delivery. The most common indications for MR imaging during pregnancy are disorders of the central nervous and cardiovascular systems. In the evaluation of the abdomen and pelvis, sonography plays the pivotal role; however, sonography may be inconclusive because of its limited specificity in tissue characterization and technical difficulties caused by the enlarged uterus. For these reasons MR imaging has emerged as a valuable adjunct to sonography. In this pictorial essay we describe a variety of nonobstetric abdominopelvic disorders during pregnancy in which MR imaging contributed to patient management.
