INTRODUCTION: MRI has demonstrated its potential in the diagnosis of placenta percreta. Texture analysis is a novel technique to quantify tissue heterogeneity. The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using texture analysis based on myometrium-derived T2WI to differentiate placenta accreta from increta.
METHODS: Participants with MRI and clinical or histopathological diagnosis of placenta increta were retrospectively enrolled. Texture analysis of T2WI was implemented on normal myometrium and placenta increta by MaZda software. With the Fisher discriminant method, parameter selection and reduction were done automatically. Multivariate analysis was used for the comparison of response variables between two groups. The contours of multivariable average vectors were compared using profile analysis. Two-step clustering was performed to assess the importance of parameters.
RESULTS: There were a total of 23 participants (median age 29 years, range 22-43 years). The pixel intensity distribution was narrow and wide in two first-order histograms taken from normal myometrium and placenta increta, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed nine second-order parameters derived from the histogram were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The results of two-step clustering indicated that three second-order parameters (Mean, Percentile 90%, and Percentile 99%) were important (predictor importance > 0.8). Multivariate analysis of three second-order parameters further showed they were different between normal myometrium and placenta increta.
DISCUSSION: Texture analysis based on myometrium-derived T2WI may be a useful add-on to MRI in diagnosing placenta increta.
TRIAL REGISTRATION: Registration number: ChiCTR2000038604 and name of registry: Evaluation of diagnostic accuracy of MRI multi-parameter imaging combined with texture analysis for placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAD).
