🚨 Do you really need a high-end ultrasound machine for IUS? Our HUMID study: (eClinicalMedicine @eClinicalMed ): 📊 Prospective paired study (n=450) 🔬 Benchmarked against tandem ileocolonoscopy ✅ Mid-end = High-end performance in ileocolonic IBD 👉 Enables scaling in low-resource settings Focus should be on training, @BowelUltrasound @iUSCAN not technology @eClinicalMed @TheLancet @LancetGastroHep #IBD #IntestinalUltrasound #MedTwitter thelancet.com/journals/eclin…

Is the rectum still a “blind spot” in IUS? 🤔 For many years, assessment of the rectum in IBD relied almost entirely on colonoscopy. But with Transperineal Ultrasound (TPUS), this paradigm is changing. 🔍 A simple ultrasound probe placed gently over the perineal region allows non-invasive visualization of the rectum. 🚫 No scope 🚫 No bowel preparation 🚫 No sedation 📡 Microconvex vs 📶 Linear probe — our study explores whether commonly available linear probes may be sufficient for TPUS. Accuracy not different but combination📡 + 📶better;📡 has technical advantage due to small 👣 Our work from 🇮🇳 @AIGHospitals contributes to the TRIUMPH-UC study — aiming to standardize TPUS and integrate it into routine IBD care. Grateful to Dr Mateen sir , @AnuradhaSekara1 and her pathology team, the great duo Dr Kanapuram Pooja & Dr. Syed Misba Naaz and other colleagues 🙏@DrDNReddy sir for the guidance A small technical step… but hopefully a TRIUMPH for UC patients. 🏆 @CrohnsColitisFn 's @BowelUltrasound @OUPAcademic @iUSCAN @IBDJournals 💬 What has been your experience with TPUS in rectal assessment? #IBD #UlcerativeColitis #IntestinalUltrasound #HealthcareInnovation #NonInvasiveMedicine academic.oup.com/ibdjournal/…
