Aim. To improve the accuracy of prenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta and compliance of the research protocols with international requirements by using standardized ultrasound criteria.
Materials and methods. The review includes scientific articles and meta-analyses of various approaches to ultrasound and radiologic imaging of placenta accreta over the past 5 years.
Results. Based on the generalized results of the analyzed scientific information, the standardized ultrasound criteria for placenta accreta were proposed, which contribute to the improvement of prenatal diagnosis of the condition, minimization of diagnostic errors and formulation of a standard examination protocol.
Conclusion. In accordance with the recommendations of expert working groups of the most significant international professional communities, the primary role of echography in prenatal diagnosis and screening of placenta accreta was determined, as well as the need to use a standard protocol with registration of each ultrasound sign.
