ACR Releases Patient-Friendly Version of Imaging Guidelines for Multiple Gestations

The ACR has published a plain-language adaptation of its Appropriateness Criteria for multiple gestations, translating evidence-based imaging recommendations into patient-accessible guidance for twin and higher-order pregnancies.

• This is a guideline/education document — a patient-facing rewrite of the existing ACR Appropriateness Criteria for imaging in multiple gestations (twins, triplets, etc.), not a new primary research study.
• Target audience includes patients and non-specialist clinicians; the document covers which imaging studies are appropriate at various stages of multiple-gestation pregnancies.
• No new clinical data or effect sizes are reported; recommendations reflect the underlying ACR expert-panel criteria (exact recommendation grades not detailed in the source snippet).
