- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The sensitivity of accuracy of transabdominal ultrasound (TAUS) in identifying colonic pathology measured using data collected during TAUS compared with a consensus reference standard (same-day computed tomography colonography [CTC]) at one timepoint
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. The specificity of ultrasound diagnosis in characterising colonic pathology measured using data collected during TAUS compared with a consensus reference standard (same-day computed tomography colonography [CTC]) at one timepoint<br>2. The identification rate of the appendix (sensitivity) and any associated pathology of the appendix measured using data collected during TAUS compared with a consensus reference standard (same-day computed tomography colonography [CTC]) at one timepoint<br>3. Compare ultrasound users:<br>3.1. Years of experience in ultrasound as self-reported by ultrasound user at baseline<br>3.2. Type of ultrasound training as self-reported at baseline<br>
