MRI evaluation of the scar thickness 12 months after transverse uterine fundal incision

(A) The thickness of the thinnest part of the scar (a) was compared with the thickness of both ends of the scar (b and c), and the scar thickness was assessed using the “wound thickness index” expressed as 2a/ (b + c)

(B) In cases where the scar ends were unclear, the points located 1.5 cm away from the thinnest part were designated as “b” and “c” of the wound thickness index

(C) Sample images of the “wound thickness index”

Arrow: the thinnest part of transverse uterine fundal incision scar

Asterisk: anterior wall of the uterus
