Nice talk from Bram Verstockt #icius Congress - IUS and histology clearly demonstrate that UC is a transmural disease - exciting future for delineating inflammatory va fibrosis stricture - submucosal layer predicts treatment response in UC

Great abstract of merit @icius Congress - almost $500,000 cost savings per annum at a tertiary hospital... not including MRI and histology - carbon footprint much superior - will free up space for bowel cancer screening :)

Great talk, Dr. krisztina gecse #icius Congress - transmural healing better target than mucosa healing - appendiceal diameter predictive of response to appendicectomy - early response predicts long term response - IUS is truly changing the game

Excited to announce our latest consensus paper. This collaborative effort provides guidance on how to integrate intestinal ultrasound as an objective and reproducible endpoint in IBD trials.
