Abstract

BACKGROUND: In recent years, with the increase of late puerperium, cesarean section and induced abortion, the incidence of placenta accreta has been on the rise. It has become one of the common clinical diseases in obstetrics and gynecology. In clinical practice, accurate segmentation of placental tissue is the basis for identifying placental accreta and assessing the degree of accreta. By analyzing the placenta and its surrounding tissues and organs, it is expected to realize automatic computer segmentation of placental adhesion, implantation, and penetration and help clinicians in prenatal planning and preparation.
