Abstract

Objectives: determine the utility of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in prenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta.

Methods: Thirty patients presented in the department of gynecology and obstetrics and fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected for the study. Study was a cros sectional design conducted at department of Radiology, Nishtar Hospital Multan, from 1st January 2019 to 1st December 2019.

Result: Only 10 patients with placenta accreta were positive on USG while other 9 patients were found to be negative; and 3 patients were misdiagnosed to have placenta accreta on USG. Table-IIOnly 15 patients with placenta accreta were positive on MRI while other 4 patients were found to be negative; and 2 patients were misdiagnosed to have placenta accreta on USG. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy were 52.6%, 72.7%, 76.9%, respectively. 

Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is no significant difference between MRI and USG in terms of accuracy for prenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta.
