Comparisons of the diagnostic accuracy of the ultrasonic sign-score method and MRI for PA, PI and PP in high-risk gravid women: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The diagnosis and management of placenta accrete spectrum (PAS) is a great challenge to obstetricians. Ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are two main methods to detect PAS. MRI has high resolution, but the examination fee is expensive. US machine and examination fee is cheap, but the resolution is relatively low. Balancing the cost and accuracy for PAS diagnosis is very important.

Methods

The ultrasonic sign-score method and MRI findings for 49 pregnant women at high risk of placental implantation were retrospectively analyzed. Inclusion criteria: (I) at high risk for PA as described in the Guidelines to Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorders issued by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) in 2018; (II) complete records of
