This article illustrates the normal and pathologic sonographic appearances of bowel, with an emphasis on diagnostic ultrasound techniques. CONCLUSION. The current role of ultrasound for adult bowel evaluation is limited in the United States, with CT emerging as the primary modality for evaluation of the acute abdomen. However, mounting concerns regarding diagnostic radiation and health care costs may affect practice patterns and shift utilization back toward sonography, which is widely available and relatively inexpensive. T he potential of bowel sonography has been recognized for decades [1, 2]. lthough ultrasound retains an important role for adult bowel evaluation worldwide, its niche in the United States is limited. Meanwhile, utilization of CT for evaluation of the acute abdomen continues to increase in this country [3]. The trend is easy to comprehend given the rapid evaluation of bowel and mesentery by CT as well as definitive assessment of abdominal and pelvic organs and major vessels. Yet, given the massive expansion of medical radiation exposure [4, 5] and health care costs [6] in the United States, this practice pattern may prove to be untenable. This article seeks to reacquaint radiologists with the gamut of findings in bowel sonography and emphasizes specific useful techniques for this imaging modality. Normal Gut Signature and Mural Thickening From esophagus to rectum, the gastrointestinal tract has a typical multilamellated sonographic appearance, arising from its organized and highly stratified histology (Fig. 1). This is helpful for at least two reasons: This pattern allows the sonographer or radiologist to distinguish bowel from adjacent structures, and disruption of the pattern aids the diagnosis of bowel pathology (Figs. 2 and 3). Masses may transgress the layers whereas edema may expand certain layers or obscure their margins. owel-wall thickening may be the most common and reliable sign of bowel disease, albeit somewhat nonspecific [7]. Wall thickening is more typically concentric in benign entities (Fig. 4) and eccentric in malignant entities (Fig. 5), although these categories exhibit considerable overlap [8] (Fig. 6). It is widely noted that diseased bowel is generally easier to image with ultrasound than normal healthy bowel because motility is often decreased and thickened walls are larger and easier to see [8]. fluid-filled and distended lumen is also much more amenable to sonography than a collapsed loop or a loop obscured by gas and its associated artifacts. Normal Mesentery and Omentum Mesenteric and omental fat are generally inconspicuous except when inflamed. Edema and infiltration of inflammatory cells tend to increase the echogenicity of fat (Figs. 3, 4, 7, and 8). bnormally echogenic fat may be the most conspicuous finding in bowel disease; this extraluminal finding may indicate an area of bowel that deserves closer attention [8]. Creeping fat characteristic of inflammatory bowel disease, particularly Crohn disease, can be striking in both its bulk and echogenicity and may throw relatively hypoechoic reactive mesenteric nodes into high relief [8, 9] (Fig. 8). Doppler Vascularity Color and power Doppler imaging supplement the information provided by gray-scale imaging, with increased vascularity visualized in a number of inflammatory and infectious diseases in particular (Figs. 2, 8, and 9).

For personal use only; all rights reserved Hyperemia, both of bowel wall and adjacent mesentery, is a notable marker of disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease [9 11] (Fig. 8). Internal vascularity can also enable distinction between cystic and hypoechoic solid structures (Fig. 10). Finally, diminished vascularity is a specific, although probably not sensitive, sign of ischemia [12 14] (Figs. 3 and 11). Dynamic Imaging Real-time imaging is a unique strength of ultrasound, although radiologists may inadvertently forgo this advantage by excessive reliance on the sonographer. Cine clips allow astute sonographers to convey dynamic information about bowel motility, compressibility, and changes in position to interpreting radiologists, but direct observation or performance of scanning in problem cases is ideal. Peristalsis Diminished bowel peristalsis is a nonspecific indicator of unhealthy small bowel. Real-time observation and a sense of the normal appearance of peristalsis are essential to making this observation. variety of causes may impair peristalsis, including high-grade small-bowel obstruction, ischemia, enteritis, and infiltrative processes (Fig. 12). However, it should be noted that hyperperistalsis may be evident in early or partial small-bowel obstruction. The presence of tethering and architectural distortion in association with reduced peristalsis suggests a more chronic or aggressive process, such as transmural inflammation (as may be seen in Crohn disease) or malignancy (Fig. 13). Compression Healthy bowel can be compressed and shifted by transducer pressure. Direct pressure over an area of abnormality may reveal a lack of normal compressibility in appendicitis (Fig. 14), intussusception (Figs. 11 and 15), bowel malignancy, or luminal distention resulting from obstruction. The graded-compression technique described by Puylaert [15] enables isolation of abnormal bowel loops by pushing away adjacent mobile bowel. Close approximation of the ultrasound transducer to the area of interest allows use of higher ultrasound frequencies, yielding greater spatial resolution. cystic or hypoechoic mass may be difficult to differentiate from fluid- filled bowel but may be less compressible than bowel (Fig. 16) or move separately from bowel. Correlation of compressibility with wall thickness and other imaging features will enable assessment of the significance. However, the efficacy of compression as a diagnostic indicator may be limited in obese adults. Valsalva Maneuver Hernias of bowel, mesentery, and omentum may preset as abdominal wall or groin masses, and direct observation while the patient coughs or bears down to increase intraabdominal pressure may be quite helpful (Fig. 17). Such maneuvers may reveal an intermittent hernia, show contiguity of a mass with the intraperitoneal space, allow better depiction of the hernia sac or abdominal wall defect, and show reducibility [16, 17]. Highfrequency linear transducers ( 7 MHz) are most appropriate for this evaluation. Focused Scanning Direct evaluation targeting the area of clinical concern may be extremely useful, particularly if the patient is able to localize the symptoms. special luxury of ultrasound, focused scanning facilitates detection of a variety of bowel and mesenteric pathologies (Figs. 18 and 19). For superficial lesions, high-frequency linear transducers may be most appropriate (7 10 MHz), but their use should be supplemented by lowerfrequency curved-array imaging (3 8 MHz) to evaluate the complete deep extent of lesions. Conversely, when a bowel abnormality is initially identified during routine abdominal scanning at 3 8 MHz, high-frequency linear transducers can be used secondarily to provide detailed assessment of bowel wall and mesentery. Thus, a complete examination should usually include both probe types. Transvaginal Imaging Transvaginal imaging is a routine part of pelvic imaging in women and may also contribute to bowel assessment [18, 19]. Deeply positioned appendixes may be best visualized transvaginally (Fig. 14), and other pathologies, including terminal ileitis, sigmoid or rectal inflammation, and pelvic masses or abscesses (Fig. 20), may be optimally assessed in this fashion as well. Conclusion Given its widespread availability, relatively low cost, and absence of ionizing radiation or need for contrast materials, ultrasound has maintained an important role in evaluation of the acute abdomen even during the recent explosion of CT utilization. However, many sonographers and radiologists limit their focus to the solid organs. The pendulum of abdominal imaging may swing back toward ultrasound. wareness of normal and pathologic sonographic appearances of bowel and attention to technique will enable sonographers and radiologists to make optimal use of this imaging modality because bowel findings may be the key element of an otherwise negative abdominal ultrasound examination. cknowledgment We thank Vanessa llen in Radiology Media Services for her help in preparing the figures for this article.
