Nearly all agreed that IUS has clinical utility in Crohn\u2019s disease (99%) and ulcerative colitis (96%), with 96% considering IUS standard of care in IBD. Clinical confidence in IUS was high (84%), particularly among IBD specialists (95% vs 73%;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.01), though lower than for colonoscopy (98%) and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE; 97%). IUS was also perceived as more resource-efficient than colonoscopy (96%) and MRE (88%). While 82% of respondents had access to IUS, mainly in an outpatient capacity, availability was lower in non-metropolitan locations. Among clinicians without access, almost all agreed that IUS access would improve IBD care; with scarcity of IUS funding and trained personnel cited as barriers. Almost half of the respondents had completed or were undertaking IUS training, with 40% of remaining respondents interested in future training.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Australian gastroenterologists widely support IUS in IBD care.
