Ultrasound to look for inflammation in SI?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

my ds is booked to have the above, to look for inflammation in his small

intestines (on the NHS!). I had been persuing a pillcam investigation, but they

have suggested this as an alternative option, so i was just wondering if anyone

else has had this done and was it useful??? I have my doubts, but have said yes

to it to appear willing and because it is non-invasive, but also out of

curiosity as i had not heard of this before despite my numerous forays within

the NHS!!!

So i would welcome hearing if others have had this done and any opinions on its

effectiveness....or not!

This is not my area but it looks as if ultrasound can be used fairly effectively to look at ileal changes. I attach a paper on using it to investigate the effects of surgical intervention.KenSubject: Ultrasound to look for inflammation in SI?To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Date: Wednesday, 30 March, 2011, 11:39
