“…This limitation may be justified by the objective of our study which was the use of IUS examination in routine monitoring of patients with UC rather than determining the accuracy of IUS compared with other diagnostic procedures. This comparison has already been the subject of several previous studies 15 23 27 41 45 46. However, investigators documented endoscopies, performed as part of clinical routine care, and we found highly significant correlations between the increased BWT and the endoscopic Mayo subscore.…”

“…Ultrasonography may be an ideal modality to address the limitations of both endoscopy and biomarkers. Transabdominal ultrasound has been reported to well correlate with the endoscopic severity of UC while it can visualise the extent and severity with very high patients' acceptability 4‐6 . Bowel wall thickening, loss of wall stratification and increased mucosal blood flow reflect the severity of inflammation and some scores have been developed to correlate with endoscopic severity 4,7,8 .…”

“…On the other hand, the myriad advantages of US include lack of radiation exposure, non-invasiveness, and costeffectiveness [12,17]. US has recently garnered interest as a useful imaging modality for the diagnosis and follow-up of inflammatory bowel disease [4,[13][14][15][18][19][20]. A PubMed search for studies published from inception to April 2019, with the terms "ultrasonography," "immune checkpoint inhibitor," and "colitis," revealed a lack of reports detailing the US findings of ICI-related colitis.…”

“…Colitis is a well-known irAE, for which a variety of colnoscopy (CS) findings have been reported [1,2]. Moreover, transabdominal ultrasonography (US) has recently been used for diagnosing and following-up on gastrointestinal diseases [3,4]. Herein, we reported our experience with ICIrelated colitis and successful followed-up with US.…”
