Summary
Respiratory diseases in pregnancy such as pneumonia or thromboembolic disease are relatively common, and thoracic imaging can be crucial to the diagnosis. Radiologic modalities are subdivided into ionizing or non-ionizing techniques. In pregnancy, ideally, it is preferable to choose non-ionizing modalities to avoid radiation exposure. However, the choice of imaging modality also needs to take into account the modality best likely to obtain the diagnosis. Amongst physicians, the perceived fetal risk from ionizing radiation exposure in pregnancy is generally higher than the actual risk.
