| Core Tip |
Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) is a dynamic, non-invasive imaging tool for Crohn’s disease (CD). It accurately evaluates transmural and extramural complications, with capabilities comparable to magnetic resonance enterography. While these modalities remain necessary for proximal strictures, skip lesions, and extra-intestinal disease, IUS serves as an excellent initial screening option in suspected cases. In established CD, IUS guides clinical decisions during remission, flares, and therapeutic response monitoring. It identifies complications, including strictures and fistulas, with advanced methods like elastography aiding stricture characterization. Additionally, IUS is invaluable in special cases such as perianal fistulas, pregnancy, post-operative CD, and guiding therapeutic interventions. |
