MR enterography In stricturlng Crohn's disease

摘要

MR enterography (MRE) is a cross-sectional imaging technique that allows the simultaneous visualization of both the luminal pathology and extraintestinal complications of Crohn's disease (CD) without exposure to ionizing radiation. In addition, experienced radiologists can differentiate findings consistent with active inflammation from the chronic changes of fibrosis based on different enhancement patterns. This would appear clinically useful in choosing surgical versus medical management options, particularly among those patients presenting with obstructive symptoms.
