Intestinal Ultrasound: Point-of-Care, Non-Invasive Disease Activity Monitoring to Modify the Natural History of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Learning Objective(s)
After watching this collaborative activity with Samsung, you should be able to:
- Perform point-of-care intestinal ultrasound in a standardized manner as a diagnostic and disease activity monitoring tool;
- Compare intestinal ultrasound to magnetic resonance enterography, computed tomography enterography, and colonoscopy for assessment of disease activity and complications; and
- Describe the use of shear wave elastography to monitor response to inflammatory bowel disease therapies and assess for the presence of chronic bowel damage.
