The principle of <strong data-start=\"309\" data-end=\"329\">Bowel Ultrasound<\/strong> is to measure the thickness of the stomach, small intestine, and colon walls, as well as to study intestinal motility and assess the degree of inflammation if present.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"501\" data-end=\"840\">If the GI wall thickness exceeds normal limits, it indicates a potential health issue that may require further tests or an endoscopic examination of the digestive tract. <strong data-start=\"671\" data-end=\"692\">Dr. Amr El-Gazzar<\/strong> uses bowel ultrasound to precisely locate inflammation before performing endoscopy, which enhances diagnostic accuracy and speeds up the process.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"842\" data-end=\"1079\">In some cases, bowel ultrasound may show a normal GI tract, eliminating the need for an endoscopy. However, if abnormalities are detected, endoscopy is performed with biopsies taken from the exact location identified by the ultrasound.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1081\" data-end=\"1112\"><strong data-start=\"1081\" data-end=\"1110\">Uses of Bowel Ultrasound:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1535\">\n<li data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1245\">\n<p data-start=\"1115\" data-end=\"1245\">Monitoring patients with <strong data-start=\"1140\" data-end=\"1162\">ulcerative colitis<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1186\">Crohn\u2019s disease<\/strong> after treatment without the need for repeated endoscopy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1297\">\n<p data-start=\"1248\" data-end=\"1297\">Early detection of <strong data-start=\"1267\" data-end=\"1294\">gastrointestinal tumors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1447\">\n<p data-start=\"1300\" data-end=\"1447\">Accurate assessment of the <strong data-start=\"1327\" data-end=\"1362\">peritoneum and abdominal cavity<\/strong>, aiding in the diagnosis of <strong data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1412\">peritoneal tumors<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1417\" data-end=\"1444\">intestinal tuberculosis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1448\" data-end=\"1535\">\n<p data-start=\"1450\" data-end=\"1535\">Studying intestinal motility to diagnose <strong data-start=\"1491\" data-end=\"1532\">partial or complete bowel obstruction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1537\" data-end=\"1574\"><strong data-start=\"1537\" data-end=\"1572\">Advantages of Bowel Ultrasound:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1812\">\n<li data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1614\">\n<p data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"1614\">Reduces the high cost of MRI scans.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1676\">\n<p data-start=\"1617\" data-end=\"1676\">Avoids contrast dye and radiation exposure from CT scans.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"1737\">\n<p data-start=\"1679\" data-end=\"1737\">Completely safe for <strong data-start=\"1699\" data-end=\"1717\">pregnant women<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1734\">children<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1738\" data-end=\"1812\">\n<p data-start=\"1740\" data-end=\"1812\">Highly effective in diagnosing <strong data-start=\"1771\" data-end=\"1809\">chronic abdominal pain in children<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1213,"template":"","class_list":["post-1211","services","type-services","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dr-amrelgazzar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services\/1211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dr-amrelgazzar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dr-amrelgazzar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/services"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dr-amrelgazzar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dr-amrelgazzar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
