CT Enterography in Crohn disease

PET/CT enterography in Crohn disease: correlation of disease activity on CT enterography with 18F-FDG uptake.

UNLABELLED We combined (18)F-FDG PET and CT enterography in a single examination and compared the level of (18)F-FDG uptake measured by maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) with the CT enterography patterns of disease activity found in patients with Crohn disease (CD). METHODS Twenty-eight patients (mean age, 37.5 y; 11 male and 17 female) suspected of having active CD underwent PET/CT ...

MR enterography in the management of patients with Crohn disease.

Crohn disease is a complex pathologic process with an unpredictable lifelong course that includes frequent relapses. It often affects young patients, who are most vulnerable to the potential adverse effects of repeated exposure to ionizing radiation from computed tomography performed for diagnosis and surgical planning. The small intestine is the bowel segment that is most frequently affected, ...

Magnetic resonance enterography in pediatric celiac disease.

OBJECTIVE To assess if magnetic resonance enterography is capable of showing evidence/extent of disease in pediatric patients with biopsy-proven celiac disease by comparing with a control group, and to correlate the magnetic resonance enterography findings with anti-endomysial antibody level, which is an indicator of gluten-free dietary compliance. METHODS Thirty-one pediatric patients (mean ...

MR enterography imaging of Crohn’s disease in pediatric patients

BACKGROUND Crohn disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory process of gastrointestinal tract, which frequently affects children. Recent advances in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique have made small bowel imaging possible, what is extremely useful in pediatrics. The purpose of this article is to describe the characteristic MR enterography findings and to present the advantages of this moda...
