MRI evaluation of the placenta from normal variants to abnormalities of implantation and malignancies

Abstract: Even though the placenta has been known for millennia, it is still considered one of the most complex and least understood human organs. Imaging of the placenta is gaining attention due to its impact on fetal and maternal outcomes. MRI plays a vital role in evaluation of inconclusive cases by ultrasonography. It enables precise mapping of placental abnormalities for proper multidisciplinary planning and management. In this article we provide a comprehensive in‐depth review of the role of antenatal MR in evalua… Show more

“…The purpose of MRI for possible PAS patients suspected by ultrasound should be to provide additional helpful information such as the extent and degree of placental invasion, the presence of extrauterine involvement and to predict the emergency situation during the operation process (such as blood loss, transfusion and hysterectomy) and thus help to improve the care of patients with PAS disorders in higher-level medical centers. However, with the increase of gestational weeks, myometrial thinning and placental signal heterogeneity, the signs indicating PAS disorders on MRI become harder to evaluate and more dependent on the experience of radiologists [13].…”

“…For prediction of parametrial, bladder, and cervical invasion, MRI has 100% specificity [ 16 ]. Therefore, MRI has an important role in confirmation of morbidly adherent placenta to enable precise mapping of placental abnormalities and aid multidisciplinary planning and management [ 17 ]. There are limited reports with regard to use of MRI in mid-trimester pregnancy for diagnosing this condition.…”

“…The most frequently used sequences for placental evaluation are single-shot fast spin-echo/turbo spin-echo (ssFSE/ssTSE), half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) T2-weighted, and balanced steady-state free-precession (true FISP or FIESTA). Zaghal et al described the protocols and techniques involved in his recent review article of MRI evaluation of the placenta [2].…”
