Abstract：Ulcerative colitis(UC),as a chronic non-specific inflammatory bowel disease,requires long-term medical treatment for patients.With the popularization of biological agents,the progression of the disease can be effectively delayed.However,there are individual differences in treatment response among patients.Improper use may lead to therapeutic non-response or even aggravation of the condition.If effective efficacy assessment can be conducted in the early stage of UC treatment,the drug regimen can be timely adjusted to avoid adverse reactions of drug therapy.This article reviews the application of ultrasound in the assessment of UC activity and efficacy,as well as the progress in the application of new ultrasound technologies in UC.
