Abstrakt: Furthermore, that same group found that use of MRI as an adjunct to ultrasound resulted in a change in diagnosis that could potentially alter clinical management of PAS in more than one-third of cases, but when changed, the diagnosis was often incorrect47. Placenta accreta is a spectrum disorder, which was first defined in 1937 by Irving and Hertig1 clinically as having difficulties in delivery of the placenta and histologically by the absence of decidua with direct attachment of placental villi to the superficial myometrium1. Studies comparing the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound imaging with that of MRI in diagnosing placenta accreta are inevitably biased towards MRI, as only suspected cases of PAS on ultrasound scan are subjected to MRI examination44,45.
