Score |
The severity of each variable in each segment is noted and further summed. The sum of the scores reflects the degree of disease activity. Ultrasound variables with their corresponding definitions and score characteristics are presented in Table 2. Colour Doppler measurements were not performed in the rectum due to reduced sensitivity at increased depths.
