Key Points

To evaluate the potential cost savings of using intestinal ultrasound instead of magnetic resonance enterography in assessing small bowel Crohn's disease.
Retrospective review of MREs performed for known or suspected Crohn's Disease in 2022.
Data extracted from CRIS® to identify suitable candidates for IUS.
Subgroup analysis of patients with 'complex disease' affecting decision making.
268 MREs requested for known or suspected Crohn's disease.
IUS predicted to correctly identify disease presence in 90% of active disease cases.
96% of patients were deemed suitable for IUS, leading to a predicted cost difference of £11,150 versus £55,750.
