Anal Ultrasound 2D & 3D (EAUS – Endoanal Ultrasound)
The Ultrasound (EAUS – Endoanal Ultrasound) device uses 2D and 3D sound waves inside the anal canal. It is an advanced and non-invasive diagnostic method used to evaluate hemorrhoids and anal conditions with high precision, ensuring the most accurate and suitable treatment plan.
What is Anal Ultrasound?
Anal ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the internal anal structures.
It is one of the essential tools for diagnosing hemorrhoids, anal, and rectal conditions because it is completely safe, painless, and radiation-free.
Types of Anal Ultrasound
🔹 2D Ultrasound
-
The most common and widely used type
-
Provides a cross-sectional image of the internal tissues
-
Useful for:
-
Detecting anal abscesses
-
Diagnosing simple and superficial fistulas
-
Evaluating internal hemorrhoids that are not visible externally
-
-
Advantage: Quick, simple, and sufficient for most routine cases
🔹 3D Ultrasound
-
A more advanced technique providing a 3D view of the anal canal and rectum
-
Offers detailed visualization of complex fistula tracts and their relation to muscles
-
Useful for:
-
Identifying complex or branching fistulas
-
Precisely assessing the anal sphincter muscles
-
Planning accurate treatment before surgery or laser intervention
-
-
Advantage: Very high accuracy, reduces the risk of recurrence after treatment
Conditions Diagnosed with 2D & 3D Ultrasound
-
Anal abscesses and their extent
-
Simple and complex anal fistulas
-
Deep internal hemorrhoids not visible externally
-
Rectal inflammations or fluid collections
-
Fistula tracts (enhanced by H₂O₂ injection for clearer mapping)
-
Tumors of the anal canal and rectal wall
-
Assessment of muscle injuries (internal, external sphincters, and levator ani)
-
Monitoring of fistulas, abscesses, and tumors after treatment to ensure no recurrence
Advantages of Anal Ultrasound
✅ Completely safe – no radiation involved
✅ Painless procedure
✅ Detects hidden problems not visible in routine examinations
✅ Helps determine the most suitable treatment (medical, laser, or surgical)
✅ Ideal for patients who require close monitoring after treatment
