Evaluation of extension and complications as well as assessment of Crohn's disease activity, include different diagnostic methods, of which many utilize ionizing radiation. In our routine work, high resolution B-mode and Doppler ultrasound with measurements of bowel wall thickness and hyperemia, as well as calculation of resistance index of mural arteries and visualisation of extramural changes, represent valuable diagnostic tools in screening, assessment of disease activity, and follow up of the patients with Crohn's disease. Therefore, we reduce the use of ionization radiation in diagnostic workup, which is particulary important considering the fact that Crohn's disease predominantly affects young patients.
评估克罗恩病的扩展情况、并发症以及疾病活动度，包括不同的诊断方法，其中许多方法都使用电离辐射。在我们的日常工作中，高分辨率B型和多普勒超声用于测量肠壁厚度和充血情况，计算壁内动脉的阻力指数以及观察壁外变化，这些都是克罗恩病患者筛查、疾病活动度评估及随访中有价值的诊断工具。因此，我们减少了诊断检查中电离辐射的使用，鉴于克罗恩病主要影响年轻患者，这一点尤为重要。
