Interventions	Patients undergoing intestinal ultrasound (IUS) as part of assessment of inflammatory bowel disease and found to have faecal loading will be referred for a single non-contrast low-dose CT scan (LDCT) to confirm the presence of faecal loading. There will not be any follow up LDCT in this study. The IUS will take approximately 20 minutes and will be performed by either a consultant gastroenterologist with over 7 years of experience with ultrasound or by a fellow currently training in IUS under said gastroenterologist. In cases where the fellow performs the ultrasound, the results will be verified by the supervising gastroenterologist prior to entry into the study. Participants invited to undergo a CT scan will be requested to do so immediately following their IUS clinic appointment (within 4 hours). Adherence will be confirmed by the generation of a LDCT radiology report.
