Acute bowel pathology ultrasound assessment for point-of-care evaluation
This acute bowel pathology ultrasound course from the AIUM addresses the point-of-care sonographic assessment of acute abdominal pain — focusing on the bowel pathologies that present most frequently in emergency and acute care settings. Five modules cover acute bowel pathology, mesenteric ischemia, diverticulitis, and emerging gastrointestinal ultrasound applications, with case-based learning throughout.
Inside this resource
Acute bowel pathology recognition
The opening modules establish the sonographic findings in acute bowel pathology — wall thickening patterns, luminal dilation, free fluid, and the grey-scale features that distinguish inflammatory from ischaemic bowel disease. The systematic scanning approach covers the right iliac fossa, left iliac fossa, and epigastric regions used in point-of-care bowel assessment.
Mesenteric ischemia and diverticulitis evaluation
A dedicated section addresses the sonographic evaluation of abdominal pain with focus on mesenteric ischemia — identifying the vascular and bowel wall findings that suggest acute mesenteric compromise. Diverticulitis assessment covers the pericolonic changes, bowel wall thickening, and the differentiation from other causes of left-sided abdominal pain.
Novel applications and case-based learning
The pipeline module reviews emerging gastrointestinal ultrasound applications — new techniques and clinical scenarios where bowel ultrasound is expanding beyond traditional indications. Case-based learning throughout the course reinforces pattern recognition with real-world pathology examples that test clinical decision-making.
Who this serves
- Emergency physicians — develop point-of-care bowel ultrasound skills for acute abdominal pain assessment
- Point-of-care sonographers — extend scanning competency into gastrointestinal pathology evaluation
- Clinicians in acute care settings — build pattern recognition for mesenteric ischemia, diverticulitis, and other acute bowel conditions
Before you buy
Is this focused on point-of-care or comprehensive GI ultrasound?
Focused on point-of-care assessment of acute bowel pathology — mesenteric ischemia, diverticulitis, and the conditions that present as acute abdominal pain requiring urgent evaluation.
Does this include case-based learning?
Yes — the final module presents real-world bowel pathology cases to reinforce the sonographic pattern recognition covered in the earlier sessions.

Downloaded for POCUS competency development. The novel applications module shows where gastrointestinal ultrasound is heading — useful for planning future training.
Marcus J. –
The mesenteric ischemia section is excellent. The bowel wall thickening patterns and vascular findings are presented with clear clinical relevance.
Aisha B. –
Practical for emergency settings. The diverticulitis differentiation module helps narrow the differential when evaluating left-sided abdominal pain.
Wei L. –
Content quality is good but would have appreciated more case examples in the mesenteric ischemia section — it is a challenging diagnosis.

Good point-of-care approach to acute bowel pathology. The case-based module at the end brings the earlier content together effectively.
