New scan could spot hidden danger in pregnancy, saving lives

NCT ID NCT02302573

Summary

This study tested a special type of ultrasound scan that uses a safe contrast dye to see if it could better detect a serious condition called placenta accreta. Placenta accreta can cause life-threatening bleeding after childbirth. The researchers enrolled 80 pregnant women at high risk for this condition to see if the new scan was more accurate than current methods.
