Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging resulted in a change in diagnosis that could alter clinical management of placenta accreta spectrum disorders in more than one third of cases, but when changed, the diagnosis was often incorrect. Given its high cost and limited clinical value, magnetic resonance imaging should not be used routinely as an adjunct to ultrasound in the diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum until evidence for utility is clearly demonstrated by more definitive prospective studies.
