The major risk of placenta accreta is severe haemorrhage when the placenta is separated at delivery. A case series of placenta accreta with antenatal sonographic topographical assessment of myometrial involvement is presented. The extent of myometrial involvement and the vascularity could be assessed by the observation of the extent of placental-uterine wall interface disruption and the vessels crossing the interface disruption sites. Such assessment results in strategic planning of management of the placenta at delivery with favourable pregnancy outcomes.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called a...
