Magnetic resonance enterography versus capsule endoscopy activity indices for quantification of small bowel inflammation in Crohns disease

Conclusions:
Modest correlation between VCE- and MRE-based quantitative indices of inflammation in patients with quiescent SB CD was observed. Between-modality correlation was higher in patients with endoscopically severe disease. DW-MRE gauged by Clermont score was at least as accurate as contrast-enhanced MRE for quantification of SB inflammation.
