Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders have become a significant life-threatening disease with rising incidence and high maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality. Imaging plays a crucial role in prenatal detection of these issues that allows for significant improvement in patient outcomes. Ultrasound remains the first line of imaging for detection, but tertiary centers have been using MRI for preoperative diagnosis and surgical planning purposes. However, imaging techniques and reporting of imaging findings of PAS disorders remains variable and non-uniform across the board. This heterogeneity in protocol called for a need to establish uniform technique, lexicon and structured reporting for PAS disorders.
As such, the Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) and European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) set out to establish joint guidelines on PAS disorders and propose…
