Reliability of Measuring Ileo-Colonic Disease Activity in Crohn’s Disease by Magnetic Resonance Enterography

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 ...

Usefulness of magnetic resonance enterography in diagnosis of Crohn's disease.

UNLABELLED The numbers of patients with diagnosed Crohn's disease in Poland continue to be on the rise. It may be assumed that it is associated not with an increased incidence but with significant advancements in diagnostic techniques which in an increasingly better manner solve problems of abdominal pain. One of such methods is magnetic resonance enterography, which gives high hope in the diag...

Pediatric Magnetic Resonance Enterography: Focused on Crohn's Disease

Crohn's disease is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disease of the intestines characterized by frequent relapse and remission. It often develops in children and adolescents, who are vulnerable to repeated exposure to ionizing radiations. Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is an increasingly important radiation-free imaging modality that is used to evaluate pediatric patients with Crohn's di...

Computed Tomography Enterography and Magnetic Resonance Enterography in the Diagnosis of Crohn's Disease

Imaging of the small bowel is complicated by its length and its overlapping loops. Recently, however, the development of crosssectional imaging techniques, such as computed tomography enterography (CTE) and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) has shifted fundamental paradigms in the diagnosis and management of patients with suspected or known Crohn's disease (CD). CTE and MRE are noninvasive ...
