1. For the diagnosis of C-section scar sequelae, rapid T2WI (SSFSE/FIESTA) in evaluating anatomical details of placental abnormality, DCE-MRI in demonstrating hypervascular products of conception, and fat-saturated T1WI in detecting hemorrhagic contents are useful MR sequences. 2. For the diagnosis of abdominal wall scar sequelae, combination of fat-saturated T1WI and SWI/SWAN is sensitive for hemorrhagic foci in abdominal wall scar endometriosis. In distinguishing soft tissue malignant tumors of the abdominal wall from benign abdominal wall scar endometriosis, DWI may be helpful.

Clinical, pathological and imaging features of C-section delivery sequelae - Acute /subacute complications: Uterine rupture, Hemorrhage /Hematoma, Infection /Abscess formation /Peritonitis - C-section scar sequelae: Ectopic pregnancy, Diverticulum, Endometriosis, Placenta accreta /increta /percreta, Retained products of conception - Abdominal wall scar sequelae: Abscess, Endometriosis Advanced MR techniques: Fat-saturation; DWI; SWI/SWAN; DCE-MRI
