Ask your referring doctor
Educational information, not a diagnosis; local protocols and clinician assessment determine imaging.
- 1.What clinical question should the scan answer, and do I need imaging at all?
- 2.Would ultrasound or MRI answer the same question without radiation?
- 3.Do I need contrast, and what kidney, allergy or pregnancy checks are needed?
- 4.How will the result change treatment, and who will explain it to me?
- 5.What preparation applies to me, and which symptoms mean I should seek urgent care instead?
Prompt clinical review
Pelvic pain, pregnancy & children
- Common symptoms / reasons
- Lower abdominal/pelvic pain, menstrual symptoms or pregnancy-related concerns; children need age-specific assessment.
- Typical initial approach
- Ultrasound is preferred for many pelvic, pregnancy and pediatric conditions. Pregnancy testing and clinical assessment guide the appropriate examination.
- When another modality is preferred
- MRI can follow unclear ultrasound findings without radiation. CT is used when necessary for the clinical situation; urgent necessary imaging should not be withheld solely due to pregnancy.
- Preparation
- Bring the referral and previous reports. Preparation varies: gallbladder studies may require fasting, pelvic studies may need a full bladder. Confirm with reception; respect any fluid restriction.
- Contrast, radiation & pregnancy
- Ultrasound uses sound waves, not ionizing radiation; IV contrast is not usual for these studies. Internal pelvic scans need informed consent. Pregnancy and age influence the scan approach.
- Urgency & red flags
- Pregnancy with pain/bleeding, sudden severe pelvic pain, fainting, a very unwell child or acute testicular pain needs urgent emergency care.
- When to see a clinician
- Seek assessment for persistent pelvic pain or any pregnancy-related concern; consent and age guide internal ultrasound choices.
- Ask your referring doctor
- Can ultrasound or MRI answer the question safely, and is an internal scan needed with consent?
