Die kolorektale Hydrosonographie zur Diagnostik von tumorösen und entzündlichen Dickdarmerkrankungen

Abstract

In selected patients, colorectal HUS is suited for diagnosis and staging of colonic tumours. It also helps to evaluate inflammatory bowel disease, because small and large bowel can be reliably distinguished from each other and the degree of stenosis of inflamed colonic segments becomes visible. Furthermore, HUS increases the visibility of fistulas.
