Use of Postpartum Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Diagnosis and Classification of Retained Placenta Tissue

Objective
To study the potential application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for classification of retained placental tissue (RPT) in the uterus postnatally.
Methods
Twenty-two patients with clinically or pathologically proven RPT were studied.
Results
The thickness ratio (D1/D2) of invaded (D1) to normal (D2) myometrium could be categorized into 3 groups (>0.6, 0.1–0.6, and
