Acute Complications of Crohn’s Disease: Comparison of Multidetector-Row Computed Tomographic Enterography with Magnetic Resonance Enterography

Abstract

Statistically, MR enterography is of similar diagnostic value as MDCT enterography for acute complications of Crohn's disease. Since the typical Crohn's disease patient is young and will very likely undergo life-long imaging, and given concerns about radiation exposure with MDCT, MR enterography should be the preferred modality.
