Antepartum Hemorrhage
Conditions
Brief summary
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.
Interventions
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)
