Abstract
Ultrasound and radioisotope placenta scans were compared in a group of 41 patients, 20 of whom were also correlated with the results of cesarean section.The discrepancies in localization between the two modalities were minimal.The ultrasound, however, has the inherent advantages of more precise delineation of the placenta margin, the concurrent visualization of the presenting part, and the lack of radiation exposure. For these reasons it is favored as the primary method for placentography.Keywords
