Comparative efficacy of MRI versus ultrasound in prenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum disorders: a single-tertiary center study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the detection of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders in a single tertiary care setting.

Materials and methods

All eligible participants prospectively underwent both US and MRI examinations prior to delivery at our institution. Two experienced radiologists independently interpreted both the US and MRI findings. The interobserver agreement was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) in a subset of twenty randomly selected participants. The diagnostic performance of each imaging modality was evaluated against the gold standard of surgical or pathological findings.

Results

In a cohort of 131 pregnancies, the diagnostic performance of
