Hydrocolonic sonography is an easy and harmless technique for the evaluation of the colon wall. In our study, 106 patients were examined by means of hydrocolonic sonography and colonoscopy. The results were compared. Polyps larger than 7 mm were detected, whereas smaller polyps were often missed. Colon cancers were found in 5 patients, and it was possible to stage them. In moderately to severely active forms of inflammatory bowel disease this technique was able to make a differentiation between ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. In elderly and very young patients it may well be the primary screening method for evaluating the bowel.
水灌肠超声检查是一种用于评估结肠壁的简便且无害的技术。在我们的研究中,106例患者接受了水灌肠超声检查和结肠镜检查。对结果进行了比较。检测到了大于7毫米的息肉,而较小的息肉常常被漏诊。在5例患者中发现了结肠癌,并且能够对其进行分期。在中度至重度活动性炎症性肠病中,该技术能够区分溃疡性结肠炎和克罗恩病。对于老年和非常年轻的患者,它很可能是评估肠道的主要筛查方法。
