Abstract:
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic non-specific inflammatory digestive tract disease with unknown etiology. Patients with IBD are recommended to take life-long follow-up and treatment due to the long disease course and repeated recurrence of disease. With the development of ultrasound technology, trans-abdominal bowel ultrasound has been brought into focus in recent years because of its high sensitivity, specificity, free of radiation, convenience and economy. This article reviewed the characteristics of ultrasound of IBD and the application and value of trans-abdominal bowel ultrasound in IBD.
