Doppler Imaging and Morbidly Adherent Placenta

August 29, 2017 updated by: Ahmed Mahmoud Hussein, Cairo University

The Role of Grey Scale Ultrasound, 2D, and 3D Power Doppler in Diagnosing and Predicting the Surgical Risks in Patients With Morbidly Adherent Placenta.

The aim of this study is to assess the value of adding 3D power Doppler (as a diagnostic technique) to gray scale technique in the antenatal diagnosis of morbidly adherent placenta as well as predict the surgical outcome regarding the type of surgery and the intra operative morbidities.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Interventional group
Patients confirmed having one or more of the signs of morbidly adherent placenta will be examined by 3D Ultrasound and 3D power Doppler. Patients will then be prepared for the operation.Cesarean hysterectomy will be done with removal of the uterus and the placenta as one mass.Cases with focal invasion of the uterus will be given a trial for conservative management. The whole specimen will be sent for histopathological examination, and the determination of length and depth of invasion.
Device: 3D Doppler Ultrasound
3D volumes will be obtained in automatic sweeps using a motorized curved-array transducer while the women held their breath. In order to interpret the data consistently, the settings of power, On Voluson E10; GE Medical Systems)
