Thoracic Imaging Findings in Obstetric and Gynecologic Conditions

Radiologists can review thoracic manifestations of obstetric and gynecologic disease, from preeclampsia and embolism to metastatic tumors and benign syndromes like Meigs syndrome, to aid timely diagnosis.

• Intended for radiologists and trainees, this review covers the spectrum of thoracic imaging findings in pregnancy (preeclampsia, pulmonary edema, thromboembolism), gynecologic malignancies (patterns of spread), and benign syndromes (Meigs, thoracic endometriosis, leiomyomatosis).
• Appropriate imaging methods for pregnant patients are discussed, with emphasis on safe practices.
• Laboratory biomarkers add diagnostic value in interpreting thoracic involvement of gynecologic malignancies.
