Ultrasound (US) is the first-line investigation in patients with abdominal symptoms and it has a role in the diagnosis and monitoring of inflammatory bowel diseases. Strain elastography (SE) is a US method for estimating tissue elasticity. This method is still not routinely used in clinical practice, although it is suggested by the EFSUMB Guidelines for the characterization of intestinal stenosis in Crohn's disease. The purpose of this Pictorial Essay is to confirm the feasibility of elastography in Crohn's disease in clinical practice by comparing elastography images with corresponding endoscopic or radiological images. At present, diagnostic accuracy of SE is reported in the literature only in connection with detection of bowel wall fibrosis in advanced cases of Crohn's disease. However, in our opinion, SE can add useful diagnostic information to grayscale and color Doppler US by providing a more accurate characterization of the bowel wall in the various manifestations of Crohn's disease.
