Other related information

This is a prospective single-arm observational study aiming to evaluate the utility of ultrasound elastography for the non-invasive assessment of colonic fibrosis in patients with ulcerative colitis. Patients scheduled to undergo colorectal resection will be assessed using elastography before surgery and on the surgical specimen, and the findings will be compared with histological fibrosis grades. The study also investigates correlations between elastography findings and clinical symptoms such as urgency. A total of 30 patients are planned for inclusion.
