Abstract:
:Transabdominal bowel sonography is a fast, efficient, and cheap way of examining the intestines. It is also virtually hazard-free and well accepted by patients. During the last 20 years, it has been established as a procedure for detecting bowel disease early in the diagnostic workup. Although rather unspecific, the method is sensitive for detection of bowel disease and can be applied to find the extent and location of inflammatory bowel disease. In patients with known ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease, it can also be used for follow-up because it is easily repeatable and radiation-free. Because it can be applied to find both intraluminal and peri-intestinal pathological features, it is a particularly valuable tool for the detection of complications of Crohn disease as stenosis, fistulas, and abscesses. Neither B-mode nor Doppler techniques have been proven obviously useful in categorizing disease activity, but new techniques using intravenous contrast might come closer to solving this question. Finally, recent longitudinal studies using transabdominal bowel sonography show that it can also give important prognostic information and be used for monitoring the effect of therapy.
