Quantitative intestinal ultrasound color doppler vessel density in children and young adults with Crohn's disease: Correlation with modified Limberg score and contrast‐enhanced ultrasound parameters

What is Known Ultrasound color Doppler technique enhances the evaluation of both bowel wall and mesenteric inflammation, relying on the detection of increased Doppler signals. Increased ultrasound color Doppler signal has been shown to correlate with heightened intestinal inflammatory activity. What is New Using a novel quantitative approach to assess bowel wall and mesenteric blood flow in children and young adults with Crohn disease, measurements of bowel wall color Doppler vessel density very strongly correlated with the conventional ordinal modified Limberg score.
