The Gastroenterology Network of Intestinal Ultrasound (GENIUS) is a group of Gastroenterologists with an interest in increasing the awareness, training and practice of Intestinal Ultrasound (IUS) in Australia.
Intestinal ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic test that allows visualisation of the bowel wall and surrounding structures. It requires no pre-test preparation and can be completed as a point of care test during consultation. It is accurate in the diagnosis and management of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.
A number of gastroenterologists within Australia are accredited to complete intestinal ultrasound for the diagnosis and management of inflammatory bowel disease.
