Patient's question:
Can ultrasound accurately detect gastritis and chronic colitis?Doctor's answer:
Ultrasound, generally speaking, cannot be used for detailed examination. It is not an instrument for detailed inspection; it is primarily used to examine inflammation in solid organs. I suggest that if you have issues with your stomach, you can go to the hospital for an endoscopy to get a clear diagnosis. If the problem is in your intestines, I recommend you also go to the hospital for a colonoscopy, which can also provide a clear diagnosis. These two procedures mainly examine the stomach and intestines.
