Review Meta AnalysisPrenatal identification of invasive placentation using magnetic resonance imaging: systematic review and meta-analysis.
To assess systematically the performance of prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing the presence, degree and topography of disorders of invasive placentation and to explore the role of the different MRI signs in predicting these disorders. The diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound and MRI in the detection of invasive placentation was also compared. ⋯ Prenatal MRI is highly accurate in diagnosing disorders of invasive placentation. Ultrasound and MRI have comparable predictive accuracy. Large population-based studies are needed in order to assess whether ultrasound can predict the depth and topography of placental invasion as reliably as can MRI.
