The role of ultrasound and MRI in diagnosing of obstetrics cardiac disorders: A systematic review

Abstract

Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used more commonly in diagnosing obstetrics disorders as non-invasive and non-ionizing methods. Ultrasonography is a safe and available modality that provides real-time images in multiple planes. MRI can perform as a subsequent evaluation for cases in which ultrasonography is doubtful. This systematic study aimed to identify the current knowledge regarding the use of ultrasonography and MRI in diagnosing obstetrics cardiac disorders, their medical applications, safety issues, limitations, and future applications.
