Abstract:
Crohn's disease (CD), a chronic and recurrent inflammatory bowel disease, requires repeated intestinal evaluations. As a non-radioactive, non-invasive, well-tolerated, inexpensive and easily reproducible detection tool, intestinal ultrasound (IUS) has been more and more widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of CD in recent years. Various parameters of IUS, such as bowel wall thickness, bowel wall stratification, color doppler signals, and inflammatory mesenteric fat, provide a lot of critical information in the diagnosis and treatment of CD. IUS can not only accurately diagnose CD and its complications, but also well evaluate CD disease activity and treatment response, and effectively predict CD transmural remission, disease duration, surgical risk, and postoperative recurrence. IUS has demonstrated good accuracy in the diagnosis, evaluation and prediction of CD.
