The morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) is a significant obstetric condition and hysterectomy is often the outcome for severe cases. We applied region of interest (ROI)-based texture analysis on retrospective placental MR images in women with history of placenta previa and previous cesarean deliveries. Our goal was to evaluate the textural characteristics of placental tissue in proximity to previous surgical scars and compare findings to surgical outcomes. Several significant Haralick texture features were seen in placental ROI’s near previous cesarean scars in those women who underwent hysterectomy.
