Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard compared other clinical findings. But shear wave elastography technique combined with endoscopic ultrasound can evaluate the degree of fibrosis of fistula tissue in Crohn's disease patients. This topic is highly relevant to the current discourse, especially for It shows a certain degree of innovation and practicality and is worthy of study and popularization.
