Core Tip	In the recent years, after the introduction of new drugs, prevention of recurrence is one of the emerging issues in the management of Crohn’s disease because a more aggressive and earlier therapy is supposed to change the clinical course of the disease. Endoscopy, that is presently the standard reference for the diagnosis, is not well tolerated by patients. To asses pre-clinical signs of recurrence a non-invasive alternative is needed. Magnetic resonance imaging shows accurate results but with high costs and low availability. Bowel ultrasound can detect early specific signs of recurrence. Advantages, limits and clinical implications of the technique are discussed below.
