Abstract:
The aim of this Pictorial Essay is to evaluate the feasibility in the clinical practice of CEUS destruction/replenishment method and time intensity curve (TIC) analysis using the available software in patients with Crohn's disease. The ultrasound (US) procedure using contrast agent is briefly described, elaboration and analysis of the US sequences are explained in detail, and some advantages and disadvantages of the method are highlighted. The Authors suggest that the destruction/replenishment method is useful and time-saving in Crohn's disease if multiple measurements are required on intestinal portions adjacent to each other or in different locations.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
