Abstract

In a patient with third trimester abdominal pregnancy with fetal demise, technetium-99m-labeled erythrocytes (99mTc-RBCs) localized the placenta preoperatively, after nonvisualization by ultrasonography and arteriography. Extrauterine placental localization by blood-pool imaging may be useful when ultrasound fails.
