Intestinal ultrasound is a safe and inexpensive method that allows visualisation of the gastrointestinal tract and detection of abnormalities. This examination involves the use of two different ultrasound transducers: a low-frequency convex probe and high-frequency linear probe. When needed, the performance of these methods can be enhanced by the use of contrast media or Doppler techniques. Intestinal ultrasound is mostly utilised for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, helping to avoid frequent use of invasive and expensive diagnostic procedures and leading to early implementation of suitable treatment. This technique can also serve to detect other pathologic conditions that are present in the gastrointestinal tract. It is a promising method with high sensitivity and specificity, which has gained popularity in recent years and has the potential to become the method of choice in the diagnostics of many intestinal disorders.
肠道超声是一种安全且经济的方法，可实现胃肠道可视化并检测异常情况。这项检查使用两种不同的超声换能器：低频凸阵探头和高频线阵探头。必要时，可通过使用造影剂或多普勒技术提高这些方法的性能。肠道超声主要用于炎症性肠病患者的诊断和随访，有助于避免频繁使用侵入性且昂贵的诊断程序，并促使尽早实施合适的治疗。该技术还可用于检测胃肠道中存在的其他病理状况。它是一种具有高灵敏度和特异性的有前景的方法，近年来颇受青睐，有可能成为许多肠道疾病诊断的首选方法。
