Small bowel imaging in inflammatory bowel disease

In the UK, ongoing delays in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) diagnosis, driven in part by reliance on endoscopy, highlight the need for more efficient pathways. Improved understanding of a treat-to-target approach to the management of IBD aimed at transmural healing further challenges traditional investigative approaches. Advances in intestinal ultrasound (IUS) and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) […]
