For the perpetuation of the human species, the reproductive system is
especially important. For couples who choose to procreate, it is a matter of concern if
(or when) either of them has health challenges that could make the desire unachievable
or stand a low chance of actualization. Without assisted reproduction, both parties must
be found fit otherwise, now more available and accessible procedures in many
countries are a viable alternative. This chapter does not attend to the theory and
practice associated with conception, contraception, multiple pregnancies, antenatal
care, normal and abnormal presentations, labor and childbirth, cesarean section and
other procedures, or infertility and the disease conditions in the domain of gynecology.
The emphasis of this chapter is only on medical imaging pertaining to this essential
system. The chapter addresses some of the common investigations in the area of
radiology and shows how and why a medical student and practicing physician should
be adept at choosing which investigation to request while considering the emotional
issues associated with the health condition, the investigation, and the waiting period
from carrying out the investigations to obtaining the desired treatment results.
