Computed Tomography Enterography and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Abdominal Key
Crohn's disease is characterized by inflammatory lesions in the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly in the terminal ileum and colon. The lesions are usually transmural, which can lead to complications like stenoses, fistulas and abscesses.
INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE IMAGING(RADIOLOGY)
Crohn disease, also known as regional enteritis, is an idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by widespread discontinuous gastrointestinal tract inflammation. The terminal ileum and proximal colon are most often affected. Extraintestinal disease is common. Epidemiology
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Current Role of Imaging in Diagnosis and Detection of Complications
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), although occasionally used to encompass a variety of infective and purely inflammatory bowel conditions, usually refers to two idiopathic conditions: Crohn disease ulcerative colitis Indeterminate colitis is added to the list and represents ~6% of inflammatory bowel disease cases 2.

Abstract This online presentation describes a didactic way to learn the distinct and overlapping clinical, radiologic, and pathologic characteristics of the two major conditions related to inflammatory bowel disease: ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease.

INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE IMAGING(RADIOLOGY)
This work makes recommendations for imaging findings that indicate small bowel Crohn's disease, how inflammatory small bowel Crohn's disease and its complications should be described, elucidates potential extra-enteric findings that may be seen at imaging, and recommends that cross-sectional enterography should be performed at diagnosis of Crohn.

Crohn's disease is a chronic, recurrent inflammation of the bowel wall of unknown origin. The disease has a tendency for transmural progression with ulceration, abscesses, fistula formation, fibrosis and (intermittent) luminal obstruction.
Thickened Small Bowel Loops due to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Small Bowel Case Studies
Sensitivity of MRI for the number of affected bowel segments was 97.5% with a specificity of 100%, whereas ultrasound scored 76% and 75%, respectively. For stenosis, MRI had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 96%, and ultrasound a sensitivity of 58% and specificity of 100%.

Citation, DOI, disclosures and article data. The fat halo sign (in colonic imaging) refers to a feature seen on CT abdominal scans, and represents infiltration of the submucosa with fat, between the muscularis propria and the mucosa. It is characterized by an inner (mucosa) and outer (muscularis propria and serosa) ring of enhancing bowel wall.

The current biomarkers used in IBD monitoring are C-reactive protein (CRP) and fecal calprotectin. Based on data from the CALM study, a combination of CRP and fecal calprotectin most accurately predicts relapse ( Lancet 2017;390 [10114]:2779-2789 ). "The CALM study showed that CRP and fecal calprotectin biomarker levels can guide treatment.
INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE IMAGING(RADIOLOGY)
The use of cross-sectional imaging and ultrasonography has long complemented endoscopic assessment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Clinical symptoms alone are often not enough to assess disease activity, so a reliance on non-invasive techniques is essential. In this paper, we aim to examine the current use of radiological modalities in aiding the management of patients with IBD. We focus.

The current status of MRI in ulcerative colitis is that of a promising, non-invasive technique for imaging extent of more severe disease. The most striking abnormalities in ulcerative colitis are colonic wall thickening and increased enhancement. The median wall thickness in ulcerative colitis ranges from 4.7 to 9.8 mm.

Endoscopic assessment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can often be imprac-tical and burdensome on both patient and clinician. Complementing endoscopy with radiological imaging has long been established practice in IBD care. With advancements in imaging, there have been great strides in the disease moni-toring and management of IBD. Different
