✦ Synopsis

We assessed the feasibility and convenience of an injector that is electrically activated by a foot pedal for contrast-enhanced sonography. Thirty-seven patients with liver lesions underwent contrast-enhanced sonography using an injector that is activated by a foot pedal. The contrast agent was injected by pressing the foot pedal. All the studies were successfully performed without complications. The device enables the sonologist to keep the probe stationary during the injection and avoids the need for additional personnel. Pedal activated injection is a safe, useful, and convenient method of contrast-enhanced sonography.

Background: Postsurgical recurrence (PSR) is very common in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and previous surgery. Endoscopy is crucial for the diagnosis of PSR, also showing high prognostic value. Bowel sonography (BS) with or without oral contrast enhancement (OCBS) is accurate for CD diagnosis
