Figure 3. Placenta accreta diagnosed with MR imaging in a patient who previously underwent posterior myomectomy. Coronal RARE MR image (single shot/60) shows an absent myometrial-placental interface in a posterolateral location (arrowhead) surrounded by a normal myometrial-placental interface (arrows). This region was not well identified with US. A fibroid (F) is present in the right lateral aspect of the uterus. (Reprinted, with permission, from reference 36.)
