Sonographic assessments of gastrointestinal and biliary functions.
Ultrasound has been established as a routine work-up imaging method in abdominal diseases. It assesses the morphology of intra-abdominal organs and depicts the normal and pathological anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract as well as of the biliopancreatic system. Ultrasound is the method of choice for visualisation of motion sequences since it is, in contrast to other imaging methods, a real-time method. The non-invasiveness and the repeatability of the method are important advantages when performing investigations of functional processes. Therefore, ultrasound is most suited for functional studies. Up to now, functional ultrasound and its potential have been undervalued. Functional ultrasound provides a widely available method to increase our understanding of functional processes and motility. The authors review the options of functional ultrasound and discuss its practical relevance.
