What is Intestinal Ultrasound?
Intestinal Ultrasound (IUS) is a non-invasive imaging technique used to visualize the intestines and surrounding structures in real-time. It is particularly valuable in diagnosing and monitoring inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, offering a radiation-free alternative to other imaging methods.
