Intracavitary Contrast-enhanced Ultrasonography to Detect Enterovesical Fistula in Crohns Disease
Yu-jun Chen,Ren Maos disease (CD) that often requires surgical treatment.1Ascertaining the presence of fistula and visualization of its anatomy are important for undertaking a decision for surgery and may impact the operative strategy.
