First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 60 women with a uterine niche, a defect in the womb wall that can occur after a C-section. Researchers compared three imaging methods—transvaginal ultrasound, saline hysterosonography, and MRI—to see how well they detect and measure the niche. The goal was to find which test is most accurate for diagnosis and treatment planning.
