Abstract:
Colonoscopy and tissue sampling are the gold standard for the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC). However, in recent years, intestinal ultrasound has been assuming an increasingly crucial role not only in the diagnosis but also in the disease assessment of UC. Specifically, ultrasound has the potential to exert a more significant influence in evaluating disease activity, monitoring early - stage treatment, and managing acute severe cases. This article aims to expound on the application value and the latest advancements of intestinal ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of UC.
