Introduction: The goal of this pilot study is to determine if ferumoxytol-enhanced MR might provide a new approach to the diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), and if so, to identify signs of PAS.
Methods: Ten pregnant women were referred for MRI evaluation for PAS. MR studies consisted of pre-contrast SSFSE, SSFP, DWI, and ferumoxytol-enhanced sequences.
Introduction: Placental function is vitally important, but placental assessment is limited by current imaging methods in vivo. The goal of this study is to determine if ferumoxytol-enhanced MR studies might be used to depict placental structure during pregnancy.
Methods: Ten pregnant women were referred for MRI evaluation of abnormal placentation.
Purpose: To elucidate ultrasound features of normal placental anatomy through correlation of gray-scale and ultrasound Doppler with ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI features using US-MR image fusion.
Methods: All patients referred to MR for ultrasound findings worrisome for PAS (placenta accreta spectrum) were included in this retrospective study. MR studies included a ferumoxytol-enhanced T1-weighted MRI.
Objectives: To assess the quality of published systematic reviews in the urology literature (an extension of our previously reported work), as high-quality systematic reviews play a paramount role in informing evidence-based clinical practice.
Materials And Methods: Our focus was on systematic reviews in the urology literature that incorporated questions of prevention and therapy. To identify such reviews published during a 36-month period (2013-2015), we systematically searched PubMed and hand-searched the table of contents of four major urology journals.
