UTLRASOUND IMAGE OF BOWEL PATHOLOGY: TECHNIQUE AND KEYS TO DIAGNOSIS IN THE ACUTE ABDOMEN. AJR:197, December 2011 Bowel wall thickening may be the most common sign of bowel disease.
Normal intestinal wall thickness < 3 mm in adult Normal intestinal wall thickness < 2 mm in children
Diseased bowel is generally easier to image because decreased motility and thickened bowel walls are larger and easier to see. UTLRASOUND IMAGE OF BOWEL PATHOLOGY: TECHNIQUE AND KEYS TO DIAGNOSIS IN THE ACUTE ABDOMEN. AJR:197, December 2011
Edema and infiltration of inflammatory cells tend to increased the echogenicity of fat. UTLRASOUND IMAGE OF BOWEL PATHOLOGY: TECHNIQUE AND KEYS TO DIAGNOSIS IN THE ACUTE ABDOMEN. AJR:197, December 2011
