This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The HUMID Study is testing whether a high-end ultrasound machine can detect bowel inflammation better than a standard ultrasound machine in people with inflammatory bowel disease. You would receive both ultrasound scans on the same day, followed by a colonoscopy within 24 hours. The goal is to see if a less expensive ultrasound machine could work just as well for monitoring your condition.
Many people with inflammatory bowel disease need regular monitoring to check for inflammation, but high-end ultrasound machines are expensive and not available everywhere. This trial is testing whether a more affordable standard ultrasound machine could be used instead without missing important information.

You would come for a single appointment where you receive two different ultrasound scans of your bowels on the same day—one with a high-end machine and one with a standard machine. The ultrasound technicians will measure your bowel wall thickness, blood flow, and look for signs of inflammation. Within 24 hours, you would have a colonoscopy (a procedure where a small camera looks inside your colon) so doctors can compare what the ultrasounds showed with what they actually see.
