Magnetic resonance imaging improves diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum requiring hysterectomy compared to ultrasound.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Magnetic resonance imaging has been used increasingly as an adjunct for ultrasound imaging for placenta accreta spectrum assessment and preoperative surgical planning, but its value has not been established yet. The ultrasound-based placenta accreta index is a well-validated standardized approach for placenta accreta spectrum evaluation. Placenta accreta spectrum-magnetic resonance imaging markers have been outlined in a joint guideline from the Society of Abdominal Radiology and the European Society of Urogenital Radiology.

Objective

This study aimed to compare placenta accreta spectrum-magnetic resonance imaging parameters with the ultrasound-based placenta accreta index in pregnancies at high risk for placenta accreta spectrum and to assess the additional diagn
