Intestinal ultrasound in inflammatory bowel disease
Research output: Contribution to journal › Review › Research › peer-review
Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) is non-invasive, fast, cheap, and well-tolerated and requires no preparation and is thus applicable as a point-of-care monitoring tool of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Evidence suggests that IUS is comparable to other standard monitoring modalities, i.e., endoscopy, MRI, calprotectin, and C-reactive protein and might be more accurate in predicting response to treatment at an early stage consequently allowing for timely optimised treatment. This review finds that integrating IUS as the standard of care in every IBD outpatient clinic and as the primary outcome in future medical trials seems inevitable.
