Placental thickness in the lower uterine segment and invasive placentation: Will the promise live up?

We thank Takahashi and Matsubara for the interest in our article in which it was demonstrated that the placental thickness in the lower uterine segment is increased in women with abnormally invasive, compared to those with normal placentation. Takahashi & Matsubara argue that measurement of the placental thickness can be difficult in cases of central placenta previa. To support their argument, they show MRI images of central placenta previa. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
