MR-enterography with diffusion weighted imaging: ADC values in normal and pathological bowel loops, a possible threshold ADC value to differentiate active from inactive Crohn's disease.

Abstract

In patients with active CD the ADC values of the pathological bowel wall are significantly lower than those of normal appearing bowel loops. A threshold of ADC value of 2.416 10-3 mm2/s could discriminate normal from pathological bowel loops.
