Abstract
Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) can lead to severe pregnancy complications. Ultrasound examination is the main method of early diagnosis of CSP, including two-dimensional color/power Doppler ultrasound, three-dimensional color/power Doppler ultrasound, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Different ultrasonic techniques have their own characteristics. Ultrasound signs and indicators can predict the outcome of CSP and guide the clinical treatment strategies for CSP patients.
