Advances in Prenatal Diagnosis of Placenta Accreta Spectrum

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) involves abnormal placental attachment and can lead to severe complications such as postpartum hemorrhage and hysterectomy. Ultrasound is the main tool used to screen for PAS due to its non-invasive nature and convenience, although its accuracy depends on the skill of...

description Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) involves abnormal placental attachment and can lead to severe complications such as postpartum hemorrhage and hysterectomy. Ultrasound is the main tool used to screen for PAS due to its non-invasive nature and convenience, although its accuracy depends on the skill of the operator. Magnetic Resonance Imaging has emerged as a supplementary tool, especially for complex cases or posterior placentas, providing more accurate anatomical detail and enabling the invasion depth and location to be assessed. This review summarizes recent advances in prenatal imaging for PAS, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and guide future research.
