Placental imaging allows prenatal diagnosis of many important complications of pregnancy and delivery. Sonographic assessment of placental location and structure to rule out placenta previa, succenturiate lobes, and placenta accreta as well as evaluation for lesions including infarctions and abruptions can allow appropriate pregnancy follow-up and delivery planning. Diagnosis of these placental complications prenatally can allow optimal pregnancy management and prevent adverse outcomes for mother and infant.
