Noninvasive tests at 3 months after ileocecal resection (ultrasound + fecal calprotectin) may identify patients at high risk of endoscopic recurrence by 6 months. That could help avoid or target postoperative endoscopy...
A reliable, accurate intestinal ultrasound could make routine monitoring easier, faster, and less costly than repeated MRI for people with Crohn’s disease. The study shows strong agreement between ultrasound scores and...
Based on the title and source metadata, this appears to be a guideline related to Crohn's disease, Inflammatory bowel disease, and Intestinal ultrasound. The original article is from springermedicine.com.
Community events like this connect people with IBD to clinical expertise and peer support. Intestinal ultrasound is a monitoring tool many patients may hear more about and could discuss with their care team.
Noninfectious (aseptic) abscesses or persistent lymphadenitis can be an early extraintestinal sign of IBD in children. Recognizing this link can prompt appropriate imaging and endoscopic evaluation that may lead to...
This study suggests using both faecal calprotectin and intestinal ultrasound together can better identify patients who reach deeper, transmural healing — and those patients had lower risk of bowel-damage progression....
This study suggests intestinal ultrasound findings early after diagnosis — especially achieving “transmural remission” within 3 months — may predict better 1-year outcomes (sustained steroid-free remission and less need...
