Abstract

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of prenatal placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is highly dependent on radiologists' experience. A deep learning (DL) method using the prior knowledge that PAS-related signs are generally found along the utero-placental borderline (UPB) may help radiologists, especially those with less experience, to mitigate this issue.
