  • The application and prospect of intestinal ultrasound in patients with Crohn’s disease

    Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic, remitting and segmental inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, radiological examinations play critical roles in the diagnosis of CD. The common radiological examinations include ultrasound examinations of intestine, computed tomography enterography (CTE), and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) in clinic. The application of CTE and MRE is limited because of radiation exposure or higher costs. The ultrasound examinations of intestine including conventional intestinal ultrasound, ultrasonic elastography, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound have been studied because of the advantages of non-invasiveness and convenience. The accuracy of the intestinal ultrasound has been already partially validated in assisting diagnosis and evaluating the disease activity and location in CD patients. This review aims at summarizing the diagnostic potency and prospect of the application of ultrasound examinations of intestine in CD patients.
