HIDE
PrevNext

0:00

To summarize, placenta accreta spectrum is a

0:03

potentially life-threatening condition, which

0:05

can result in significant peripartum hemorrhage.

0:08

MRI may be performed when the maternal-fetal

0:11

medicine ultrasound is abnormal, and

0:14

features of placenta accreta spectrum on

0:16

MRI include placental bands, myometrial

0:19

thinning, placental bulge, placental

0:22

lobulation, and parenchymal heterogeneity.

0:24

MRI without contrast can provide high-resolution

0:27

images of placenta, uterus, and bladder, and may

0:31

aid in diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum.

0:34

Remember that protocols for evaluation of

0:36

the placenta should be focused and efficient.

0:39

And recognizing specific imaging findings

0:41

is key to diagnosing and treating placental

0:44

pathology and operative planning, particularly

0:47

in cases of placenta percreta, when the

0:49

bladder or parametrium may be involved.
