Green gut check: can ultrasound slash the carbon cost of IBD testing?
NCT ID NCT07431983
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how much energy, water, and waste are used during different types of bowel imaging tests for people with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. The goal is to see if a simple, non-invasive ultrasound can be a greener alternative to colonoscopy and CT scans. About 200 patients will take part, and researchers will measure the greenhouse gas emissions from each test.
