Highlights |
• | Diagnostic performance of MRI for placental invasiveness is high with no differences between 1.5 and 3.0 Tesla. |
• | MRI at 1.5- and 3-T show excellent and equivalent diagnostic capabilities for detecting extrauterine placental spread. |
• | MRI at 1.5-T shows similar capability for revealing signs of invasive placenta (i.e., T2-dark intraplacental bands, intraplacental fetal vessels and parenchymal heterogeneity) compared to MRI at 3-T. |
Abstract |
Purpose |
Accurate antenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is important for optimal management. The purpose of this study was to compare the respective capabilities of 1.5-T and 3.0-T MRI in the diagnosis of PAS.
Materials and methods |
Between March 2016-March 2021, 190 pregnant women at high risk for PAS underwent dedicated prenatal MRI with either 1.5-T or 3.0-T units at a tertiary imaging center. Cesarian section and MRI were performed less than 6 weeks from each other. Prospectively collected data were evaluated by two experienced genitourinary radiologists for presence and extent of PAS. A comparative study was designed to investigate differences in predictive ability between 1.5-T and 3.0-T MRI groups. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, negative and positive prognostic values relative to intraoperative/histological findings, were computed for both groups and were compared with chi-square (χ 2) test. Interobserver agreement was estimated using Kappa test.
Results |
One hundred-eighty-two gravid women were included in the study; of these, 91/182 (50%) women were evaluated with 1.5-T (mean age, 35 ± 5.1 [SD] years; mean gestational age: 32.5 weeks) and 91/182 (50%) with 3.0-T MRI (mean age, 34.9 ± 4.9 [SD] years; mean gestational age, 32.1 weeks). 1.5-T MRI yielded 95.7% sensitivity (95% CI: 87.8–99.1) and 81.8% specificity (95% CI: 59.8) and 3.0-T MRI 93.8% sensitivity (95% CI: 86.0–97.9) and 83.3% specificity (95% CI: 48.2–97.7) for PAS identification, with no differences between the two groups (P = 0.725 and P >0.999, respectively). MRI showed excellent predictive ability for detecting extrauterine placental spread with 100% sensitivity (95% CI: 89.4–100.0), 96.7% specificity (95% CI: 88.1–99.6) for 1.5-T and 97% sensitivity (95% CI: 84.2–99.9), 96.7% specificity (95% CI: 88.1–99.6) for 3.0-T without differences between the two groups (P > 0.999). Interobserver agreement was excellent for both groups. The most frequently detected MRI signs of PAS for both 1.5-T and 3.0-T groups were placental heterogeneity (n = 85, 93.5% vs. n = 90, 98.9%; P = 0.413), and intraplacental fetal vessels (n = 64, 70.3% vs. n = 65, 71.4%; P = 0.870).
Conclusion |
This study suggests that 3.0-T MRI and 1.5-T MRI are equivalent for the diagnosis of PAS.
