Tests and monitoring tools
Intestinal ultrasound articles covering bowel-wall imaging, noninvasive monitoring, treatment response, and Crohn's disease or IBD research. Monitoring context emphasizes diagnosis, follow-up, disease activity, treatment response, and care decisions.

Early intestinal ultrasound may predict one-year endoscopic remission in Crohn's disease, offering a noninvasive tool to guide treatment decisions and possibly reduce the need for some colonoscopies.
Detecting Crohn’s recurrence after bowel surgery is important because recurrence can occur without symptoms. A reliable non-invasive test like intestinal ultrasound could reduce the need for repeated colonoscopies and...
Noninvasive monitoring matters for children with UC because endoscopy is burdensome. If ultrasound (and simple measures like bowel wall thickness) can reliably detect moderate-to-severe disease, families may avoid some...
Point-of-care intestinal ultrasound (IUS) showed strong agreement with follow-up tests and often changed management the same day in a New Zealand IBD cohort. Patients and clinicians may be able to use IUS to monitor...
This study will collect real-world data on adults with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who start upadacitinib, tracking symptom remission and imaging response over one to two years — information that can help...
Faster, accurate diagnosis can let people with Crohn's disease start appropriate treatment sooner and help avoid complications from ongoing inflammation. The article outlines common presenting symptoms and recommended...
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...
