Ultrasound to tell placenta complications from uterine scar issues
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to help doctors tell the difference between a serious placenta problem (placenta accreta) and a weak spot in the uterus scar (uterine dehiscence) in late pregnancy. It might help women with a low-lying placenta and a history of C-sections get a more accurate diagnosis, which could guide safer delivery planning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the third trimester of pregnancy (28 weeks or more).
- Your placenta is low-lying or covering the cervix (placenta previa).
- You have had at least one previous C-section.
- You plan to deliver at Assiut Women Health Hospital.
- You are willing to participate in the study.

This study uses a special ultrasound scoring system to help predict how severe placenta accreta may be and to plan for safer delivery outcomes. It aims to improve understanding of this condition that can cause heavy bleeding after childbirth.
This trial tests if a special 3D color ultrasound can accurately detect how deeply the placenta has grown into the uterus (placenta accreta spectrum). It may help doctors plan safer deliveries for women with certain risk factors.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the placenta and the uterine muscle where it attaches, to help predict heavy bleeding after childbirth in women with placenta accreta. The goal is to better identify who might be at risk, so doctors can be prepared and improve safety during delivery.
This study looks at ultrasound images of the placenta taken during pregnancy to see if they can predict how well the placenta works or what it looks like under a microscope. It may help doctors understand more about pregnancy complications like fetal growth restriction.
This study tests a new artificial-intelligence tool that analyzes ultrasound images to detect placenta accreta spectrum—a condition where the placenta attaches too deeply to the uterus. If you're pregnant with risk factors like placenta previa (placenta covering the cervix), this trial may help doctors catch the problem earlier.
This study looks at how the thickness of the placenta affects pregnancy outcomes in women with placenta previa. It may help doctors better manage pregnancies with this condition.
