Magnetic Resonance Enterography in the Study of Patients With Crohn's Disease: Which Findings Are More Likely to Change Patient Management?

Crohn's disease (CD) is an idiopathic inflammatory disorder characterized by transmural inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract with a relapsing and remitting course requiring frequent disease evaluations. Clinical indices have been developed to evaluate and quantify the severity of disease. The most commonly utilised of such indices are the Crohn's Disease Activity Index and Harvey Bradshaw Index, which grade the severity of the disease from asymptomatic remission to severe disease.
