Oral contrast-enhanced sonography for the diagnosis and grading of postsurgical recurrence of Crohnʼs disease

Abstract

Both BS and OCBS show good sensitivity and high specificity for the diagnosis of PSR in CD, with a BWT >5 mm for BS and BWT >4 mm for OCBS strongly indicative of severe endoscopic PSR. Accordingly, these techniques could replace endoscopy for the diagnosis and grading of PSR in many cases.
