Prospective Intestinal Ultrasound Study for Artificial Intelligence Algorithm Development
Prospective Study for Intestinal Ultrasound Algorithm Development
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 10 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This observational study will use intestinal ultrasound images to help develop computer programs that may make it easier to assess bowel inflammation. The study will include adults who are healthy or who are having an intestinal ultrasound as part of care for inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis. Researchers want to find out whether a computer program can measure bowel wall thickness from ultrasound images as accurately as experienced ultrasound clinicians. They will also explore whether the program can identify other changes in the bowel. Participants will have an intestinal ultrasound as part of their usual care. People who agree to take part will allow the research team to use de-identified ultrasound images and a small amount of related health information. No medication, experimental treatment, or additional ultrasound procedure will be given for this study. The computer program will not be used to make decisions about a participant's care, and participants will not receive individual results from the program.
