This talk provides a practical introduction to bowel ultrasound for clinicians and sonographers involved in abdominal imaging. It will outline a systematic approach to performing a bowel ultrasound examination, including patient preparation, probe selection, scanning technique, and optimisation tips to improve diagnostic confidence. Normal sonographic appearances of the small bowel and colon will be reviewed, with emphasis on recognising key anatomical landmarks and expected wall characteristics. The session will also cover commonly encountered bowel pathologies, highlighting typical ultrasound features and potential pitfalls. Through a combination of image examples and practical guidance, the talk aims to build a solid foundation for incorporating bowel ultrasound into routine clinical practice and acute settings, supporting timely diagnosis and improved patient care.
