Novel Intestinal Ultrasound (IUS) features for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) management
Last Updated:
This webinar, presented by Prof. Kerri Novak and colleagues, explores the evolving role of intestinal ultrasound (IUS) in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Dr. Michael Dolinger highlights the value of IUS in pediatric IBD, emphasizing the detection of bowel wall thickness, vascularity, and other inflammation markers. His segment includes real-world cases demonstrating how IUS supports earlier diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment decisions in children and adults.
The session also features a recorded lecture from Dr. Jane Yan, who shares insights from her experience leading clinical trials in Brisbane. She outlines how IUS is being integrated into IBD monitoring protocols, offering a non-invasive and real-time alternative to endoscopy and MRI. She reviews sonographic features such as mesenteric fat changes and lymph node enlargement and discusses their diagnostic relevance.
Throughout the session, speakers underscore the practicality, accessibility, and cost-efficiency of IUS compared to other imaging modalities. Case studies are supported by high-resolution ultrasound images, offering a clear view of disease progression, response to therapy, and the utility of IUS in differentiating active inflammation from fibrosis.
The webinar concludes with a discussion on training and implementation, encouraging wider adoption of IUS in clinical settings. Overall, it provides a comprehensive overview of how intestinal ultrasound is shaping the future of IBD care.
