Ultrasound Stiffness Imaging in Crohn's Disease

NCT01666626 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2015-07-30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ultrasound-based assessment of intestinal stiffness in patients with Crohn's disease predicts the effectiveness of medical therapy or the need for surgical resection.

Conditions

  • Crohn's Disease
  • Ultrasound
  • Intestinal Fibrosis
  • Shear Wave Imaging
  • Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound stiffness imaging

Subjects will undergo transabdominal ultrasound of the distal intestine. Distal intestine motion capture will be used for off-line stiffness assessment by two-dimensional speckle tracking. In addition, shear wave imaging will be used for real-time stiffness assessment.
