BACKGROUND & AIMS Capsule endoscopy (CE) detects small bowel Crohn's disease with greater diagnostic yield than radiologic procedures, although there are concerns that CE has low specificity. We compared the sensitivity and specificity of CE, magnetic resonance imaging enterography (MRE) and computed tomography enterography (CTE) in patients with suspected or newly diagnosed Crohn's disease. ...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects ≈1.4 million people in North America and, because of its typical early age of onset and episodic disease course, IBD patients often undergo numerous imaging studies over the course of their lifetimes. Computed tomography (CT) has become the standard imaging modality for assessment of IBD patients because of its widespread availability, rapid image acquis...

It is difficult to diagnose Crohn's disease in the asymptomatic period. The aim of this study evaluate diagnostic utility CT enterography (CTE) diagnosis (CD) with small intestine involment patients iron deficiency anemia (IDA). 250 who underwent CTE examination between 2017 and 2018 were retrospectively scanned. 45 had endoscopic examinations diagnosed IDA included study. While one or more pat...

Radiologic evaluation plays a critical role in the assessment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease, particularly Crohn’s disease (CD). In UC, colonic mucosa is readily accessible for endoscopic evaluation; thus radiologic techniques are less useful. Traditionally, fluoroscopic studies including the small bowel series and barium enema, along with CT, were the mainstays of imaging. These m...
