Abstract : The Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) disorder spectrum, the Placenta Accreta is the most severe—along with increta and percreta—carry high risks in pregnancy, which include exessive bleeding and severe maternal morbidity or mortality. A matrix scan (MRI) ultrasound serves best in prenatal imaging. Accurate diagnosis allows for the best preparations to made and life saving interventions to be performed on time. This paper researches the use of MRI and Ultrasound in combination with imaging for the diagnosis for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), evaluating their comparative effectiveness in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy.

Keywords : MRI, Placenta, PAS, Ultrasound, Diagnostic, Accuracy.
