Abstract: Radiation imaging is integral to modern diagnostic medicine, facilitating the detection, diagnosis, and management of numerous conditions. However, its use during pregnancy raises concerns due to the potential risks to the developing fetus, such as congenital malformations, growth retardation, and an increased risk of cancer. This paper explores the impact of radiation imaging on pregnant women through a multidisciplinary lens, incorporating the perspectives of specialists from obstetrics and gynecology, as well as radiology. By examining the effects of various imaging modalities, this research aims to balance the necessity of early and accurate diagnosis with the imperative to minimize fetal exposure. Guidelines and strategies for minimizing radiation exposure while ensuring effective diagnosis are discussed, highlighting the importance of collaboration between obstetricians and radiologists to achieve optimal outcomes for both the mother and fetus.
