AIM: This study was conducted to determine a more accurate imaging method for the diagnosis of @entity2318 ( @entity2318 ) and to identify the parameters of @entity2318 strongly associated with prolonged @entity548 . METHODS: We enrolled 282 @entity1 with a history of cesarean section (CS) who presented with prolonged @entity548 between January 2012 and May 2015. Transvaginal ultrasound, general magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and contrast-enhanced MRI were used to diagnose @entity2318 . Five parameters were compared among the imaging modalities: length, width, depth and thickness of the remaining muscular layer (TRM) of @entity2318 and the depth/TRM ratio. Correlation between the five parameters and days of @entity548 was performed. Finally, multivariate analysis was used to determine the parameters associated with @entity548 longer than 14 days. RESULTS: Contrast-enhanced MRI yielded greater length or width or thinner TRM of @entity2318 compared with MRI and transvaginal ultrasound. @entity2318 size did not significantly differ between @entity1 who had undergone one and two CSs. Correlation analysis revealed that @entity2318 (P = 0.038) and TRM (P = 0.003) lengths were significantly associated with days of @entity548 . Longer than 14 days of @entity548 was defined by cut-off values of 2.15 mm for TRM and 13.85 mm for length. TRM and number of CSs were strongly associated with @entity548 longer than 14 days. CONCLUSIONS: CE-MRI is a relatively accurate and efficient imaging method for the diagnosis of @entity2318 . A cut-off value of TRM of 2.15 mm is the most important parameter associated with @entity548 longer than 14 days.
