• MRI is a powerful adjunct to ultrasound and provides valuable information on the topography and depth of placental invasion. • Consensus statement proposed a common lexicon to allow for uniformity in MRI acquisition, interpretation, and reporting of PAS disorders. • Seven MRI features, namely intraplacental dark T2 bands, uterine/placental bulge, loss of low T2 retroplacental line, myometrial thinning/disruption, bladder wall interruption, focal exophytic placental mass, and abnormal vasculature of the placental bed, reached consensus and are categorized as "recommended" for diagnosing PAS disorders.
