“…Better sensitivity but a comparably lower specificity of either US or MRI techniques for the diagnosis of PAS, perhaps because once one feature of the diagnostic criteria was present, the diagnosis of PAS was considered, consequently the number of false positives was increased, and specificity of the test reduced. The most recent retrospective cohort study [35] exhibited that a comprehensive scoring system by combing US, MRI and clinical risk factors was superior to either modality when used alone, suggesting that a complementary approach by combing several characteristic markers from various clinical parameters into a structured and quantified system might improve the diagnostic accuracy.…”

“…For ultrasonic manifestations, placenta previa, vascular lacunae, obscure boundaries between the placenta and the myometrium, uterine serosa-posterior bladder wall interface, sub-placental hypervascularity were also frequently used as our PAS scoring system shows. [ 4 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 10 ] Other criteria like size and numbers of lacunae, myometrium thickness, disruption of the myometrium and cervix invaded were also applied and confirmed to be useful. [ 4 7 , 9 ] Our PAS scoring system including similar ultrasound descriptions with other studies.…”
