First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether MRI can be used instead of CT to measure the pelvis in pregnant women who have had a previous C-section. CT scans use radiation, which doctors want to avoid. The study will enroll 95 women and compare the accuracy of the two methods, as well as how comfortable each exam is for the patient.
