Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) need accessible, timely, and noninvasive monitoring strategies. Bedside intraabdominal ultrasound (IUS) is a beneficial tool for diagnosing and monitoring patients with IBD, including both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.1,2 Integrating IUS can have a significant impact on decision-making and endoscopy use in a standardized care pathway for these patients, given that the benefits outweigh the risks and costs of other imaging modalities.

IUS is radiation free, and provides accurate point-of-care detection of bowel wall thickening and inflammation in individuals with IBD.3 This imaging is effective for monitoring treatment response and guiding early interventions and is suitable for special populations (e.g., pediatrics and patients who are pregnant or obese).1,2 IUS allows for medication adjustments without requiring urgent endoscopies or special preparations.1 The small and large intestine can be visually monitored for IBD activity with IUS, with occasional exception regarding the rectum because of its deep location; however, a transperineal or transrectal ultrasound approach may be needed to view the rectum and perianal areas.2,3

Further, in 2024, AGA reviewed and provided guidance on the use of IUS in IBD care,1 underscoring its growing importance and utility. IUS provides a noninvasive, cost-effective, and accurate method for IBD evaluation and monitoring.
