So what do I do on Monday morning?”
🧠 When should I use intestinal ultrasound—and when is CTE/MRE truly needed—in small-bowel Crohn’s disease?
🚨 Guidelines endorse IUS but remain unclear on escalation, especially in L4 disease & suspected strictures.
📊 CACTUS-CD (prospective, real-world): 🌵🌵🌵 in Red Journal @AmJGastro
• n = 407
• Isolated SB disease: n = 149
• Multifocal SB disease: n = 107
• High L4 burden (vs ~3% in METRIC)
🔍 Where does CTE/MRE truly add incremental value?
🎯 CACTUS-CD shows escalation is most useful for:
• Proximal & mid small-bowel disease
• Surgical planning
• Planning endoscopic intervention
• Extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs)
• Diagnostic dilemmas / suspected malignancy
💡 Take-home:
✅ Ultrasound-first works for most
➕ SICUS improves stricture detection
🎯 CTE/MRE should be targeted, not routine
