Current methods for instrumental diagnosis of placenta increta
Objective. To determine the efficiency of ultrasonography (USG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of placenta increta.Vinitsky A.A., Shmakov R.G., Bychenko V.G.
Material and methods. The review includes data from foreign and Russian articles published in the past 10 years and found in Pubmed on this topic.
Results. The paper gives the results of recent studies determining the diagnostic value of USG and MRI. It sets forth the viewpoints of the leading scientific communities relying on an evidence base and the role and place of each method.
Conclusion. The predictive value of both methods is comparable. MRI may be supplemented if the placenta is located along the posterior uterine wall or invades the adjacent organs.
