Placenta increta, a serious threat to maternal and fetal life, is difficult to distinguish by traditional MRI. In this study, IVIM imaging was used for the first time to detect the perfusion level of some placenta implanted, and it was found that the perfusion fraction was significantly lower than that of the normal placenta. That is help for establishing a new method for clinical diagnosis of placental implantation, especially placenta non-percreta.
