Description
Objective: To investigate the MRI diagnostic value for placenta previa with placental implantation. Methods: MRI of 23 patients with placenta previa was retrospectively analyzed. Results: The boundaries of the placenta were clear from (10), adherent with (3), implanted in (8), or penetrating through(2) the myometrium on MRI. 6 cases were diagnosed as normal after surgery, 4 cases of adhesion, 11 cases were implanted, 2 cases of penetrating. The MRI diagnosis of placental implantation (8) and penetration (2) was confirmed operatively. Two cases of implantation were erroneously classified as placental adhesion and 1 case was misinterpreted as normal. 3 out of 4 cases of placental adhesion were missed on MRI. Conclusion: MRI is helpful in diagnosing placental implantation. (authors)
