- What it's testing
- The study compares how accurately a mid‑end ultrasound and a high‑end ultrasound identify inflammation in the gut, using colonoscopy as the gold standard.
- Who it's for
- Adults with inflammatory bowel disease who can safely undergo ultrasound and colonoscopy.
- What's involved
- Participants will have a clinical check, two ultrasound scans (one with each machine), and a colonoscopy. The results will be compared to see which ultrasound works better.
