findings in the second or third trimester. Sonographic findings that may be suggestive of placenta accreta include:
 Loss of normal hypoechoic retroplacental zone
 Multiple vascular lacunae (irregular vascular spaces) within placenta, giving "Swiss cheese" appearance
 Blood vessels or placental tissue bridging uterine-placental margin, myometrial-bladder interface, or crossing the uterine serosa
 Retroplacental myometrial thickness of <1 mm
 Numerous coherent vessels visualized with 3-dimensional power Doppler in basal view

Unfortunately, the diagnosis is not easy and is affected by a significant interobserver variability. In doubtful cases it is possible to perform a nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI) of the pelvis, which has a very good sensitivity and specificity for this disorder.  MRI findings associated with placenta accreta include dark T2 bands, bulging of the uterus, and loss of the dark T2 interface.
