Tóm tắt

AbstractUltrasound should be the first-line imaging method in the medical care of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. It can be used to differentiate between Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and to detect numerous complications like stenoses, fistulas, and abscesses. As the method is also highly suitable for follow-up, stressful endoscopic procedures and examinations involving radiation are less necessary. Comparison studies with MRI and CT show that ultrasound is not an inferior method and it is therefore included in all guidelines. Intensifying physician training in this method will help to ensure its comprehensive use.
