Transabdominal intestinal ultrasound versus transmural histopathological findings in severe ulcerative colitis requiring colectomy.

Key Points

• To compare transabdominal ultrasound findings with transmural histopathological features in patients with severe ulcerative colitis.
• Conducted a comparison between IUS findings and histopathological results in active ulcerative colitis cases.
• Developed an imaging atlas for clinical reference.
• Analyzed the inflammatory status based on ultrasound images and biopsy results.
• Established a correlation between ultrasound imaging findings and histopathological status.
• Provided clinical insights to support the use of IUS in assessing disease severity.
