Correlation and Assessment of Small Bowel Lesions Using Cross-Sectional Imaging Techniques Compared With Small Intestinal Contrast Ultrasonography in Known Crohn's Disease (the CACTUS-CD Study): A Paired, Prospective, Confirmatory Study
IUS is a highly accurate, noninvasive tool for monitoring SB CD, with SICUS enhancing stricture detection. Although CTE/MRE remains essential for evaluating proximal and mid-SB disease and surgical planning, the limited overall incremental impact support a scalable, ultrasound-first approach (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06125678).
