Representative multimodal ultrasound and endoscopic images in participants with Crohn's disease. Top row depicts findings in a 26-year-old male participant with Crohn's disease in remission. Bottom row illustrates findings in a 25-year-old male participant with severe active Crohn's disease. The terminal ileum was the most prominently thickened bowel segment in both participants. Paired images comparing imaging modalities are shown. (A, F) Grayscale US images of the longitudinal section; arrows in A indicate the intestinal wall. (B, G) Color Doppler flow images of the longitudinal section; the box outlines the region of interest. In these two images, blue represents venous flow, while red represents arterial flow. (C, H) Conventional CEUS images of the longitudinal section. (D, I) Vascular density maps derived from super-resolution CEUS of the longitudinal section; arrows in D indicate the intestinal wall, and the outline in I indicates the measurement area for quantitative analysis. (E, J) Corresponding endoscopic images in the participants.

Examples of ultrasound findings and techniques. (A) Images in a 39-year-old male patient with a mass in the left thigh. The mass is heterogeneous on the B-mode US image (compared with the patient in D) and showed increased microvascularity (superb microvascular imaging [SMI]) and shear-wave elastography (SWE) values. Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma was diagnosed at biopsy (with pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma in surgical specimen). (B) Images in an 18-year-old male patient with a mass in the left leg. The mass is hypoechoic on the B-mode image, with no other findings suggestive of malignancy. The lesion is in contact with the cortex of the tibia, which is slightly irregular. CT revealed a doubtful anteromedial tibial erosion. The microvascular study demonstrated high vascularization, suggestive of malignancy. Periosteal Ewing sarcoma was diagnosed with both histologic and immunohistochemical confirmation. (C) Images in a 69-year-old female patient with a lump growing on the outside of the left leg. Multiple SWE examinations were performed (please note the high values obtained in the measurements, whereas the color map highlights the stiffness relative to adjacent tissues). SMI showed areas of increased vascularization to target for sampling. Undifferentiated spindle cell sarcoma was diagnosed at biopsy, with residual leiomyosarcoma in the surgical specimen after neoadjuvant therapy. (D) Images in a 56-year-old female patient with a mass in the right thigh. The mass is heterogeneous at both B-mode ultrasound (similar to patient A) and MRI (coronal T2-weighted spectral attenuated inversion recovery [SPAIR]; T1-weighted pre-contrast and postcontrast imaging), which even shows uptake after the administration of paramagnetic contrast material, which is traditionally suggestive of malignancy. Low values at SMI and elastography are suggestive of benignity. Spindle cell lipoma was diagnosed at biopsy, with atypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor in the surgical specimen.
