Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) is a safe and effective way for the diagnosis and surveillance of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It allows a noninvasive and reproducible follow-up for patients with IBD.
To compare the outcomes of colonoscopy and IUS in diagnosing and monitoring patients with IBD.
A prospective study was conducted over a three-year period (January 2021 to April 2024) comparing endoscopic and IUS findings. A total of 101 patients were included in the study (68 with Crohn's disease and 33 with ulcerative colitis). All patients underwent both IUS and colonoscopy within a 10-day period.
The study found a strong correlation between bowel thickening on IUS and inflammatory activity ( = 0.004), IUS remission and endoscopic remission ( = 0.03), IUS and endoscopic location ( = 0.04), as well as IUS and computed tomography scan findings for collection diagnosis ( < 0.01).
The study's findings demonstrated excellent results for using IUS in the diagnosis and follow-up of IBD patients.
肠道超声（IUS）是诊断和监测炎症性肠病（IBD）患者的一种安全有效的方法。它能为IBD患者提供无创且可重复的随访。
比较结肠镜检查和IUS在诊断和监测IBD患者方面的结果。
进行了一项为期三年（2021年1月至2024年4月）的前瞻性研究，比较内镜检查和IUS检查结果。共有101例患者纳入研究（68例克罗恩病患者和33例溃疡性结肠炎患者）。所有患者在10天内均接受了IUS检查和结肠镜检查。
研究发现，IUS检查显示的肠壁增厚与炎症活动之间存在强相关性（=0.004），IUS缓解与内镜缓解之间存在相关性（=0.03），IUS与内镜检查部位之间存在相关性（=0.04），以及IUS与计算机断层扫描结果在脓肿诊断方面存在相关性（<0.01）。
该研究结果表明，使用IUS对IBD患者进行诊断和随访效果良好。
