The update of ultrasound techniques in diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease

Objective: To evaluate the value of conventional abdominal ultrasound and color Doppler in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its complications. Materials and methods: 40 patients suffering from colonic symptoms were evaluated by high resolution ultrasonography and color Doppler s...

NassefSamer M. BotrosMaha K. Adel GhaffarObjective: To evaluate the value of conventional abdominal ultrasound and color Doppler in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its complications. Materials and methods: 40 patients suffering from colonic symptoms were evaluated by high resolution ultrasonography and color Doppler scanning. Results: The accuracy of conventional abdominal ultrasound in detecting inflammatory bowel cases was 80% and the accuracy of color Doppler in detecting the hypervascularity was 75%. Conclusion: Conventional ultrasound is a widely available non-invasive method for imaging the alimentary gastrointestinal tract. This can provide an important contribution for diagnosis and monitoring of disease activity. Color Doppler sonography has proved to be a valuable method for the assessment of disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378603X14000308High resolution ultrasoundColor DopplerInflammatory bowel disease
