Placenta Accreta Spectrum VS Uterine Scar Dehiscence: Accurate Ultrasound Model in 3rd Trimester Pregnancies for Percise Diagnosis

By using 2d Ultrasound on 3rd trimester pregnant women, a model is made to help differentiate between placenta accreta spectrum and uterine scar dehiscence before operative action to help prepare multi-disciplinary steps if needed
