B\u2010mode ultrasound examination of the duodenum and colon was performed using a 7.5\u2003MHz annular array transducer.

Giardial lesions of the duodenum and colon were associated with increased wall thickness when compared with healthy subjects (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.05). Furthermore, giardial lesions were characterized by increased wall echogenicity, flattening or loss of duodenal folds and\/or colonic haustration, hyperechoic floating foci (HFF) demonstrating chaotic motility, increased peri\u2010lesional tissue echogenicity, and altered colonic peristalsis. In amebiasis, focal hyperechoic wall thickening was seen at lesion sites identified as amebomas with increased wall echogenicity, but otherwise normal duodenal folds and colonic haustration. There were no HFF with chaotic motility, rather intestinal contents showed bulk motility in patients with amebiasis. There was no focal colonic wall motion abnormality observed.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2002<\/jats:bold> B\u2010mode imaging with water contrast demonstrated details of duodenal and colonic echoanatomy.
