Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects mainly young people. The clinical management is based on the Crohn's Disease Activity Index and especially on biologic parameters with or without additional endoscopic and imaging procedures, such as barium and computed tomography examinations. Recently, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been a promising diagnostic radiologic technique with lack of ionizing radiation, enabling superior tissue contrast resolution due to new pulse-sequence developments. Therefore, MR enterography has the potential to become the modality of choice for imaging the small bowel in CD patients.
克罗恩病(CD)是一种主要影响年轻人的慢性自身免疫性疾病。临床管理基于克罗恩病活动指数,特别是基于生物参数,可伴有或不伴有额外的内镜和影像学检查,如钡剂和计算机断层扫描检查。最近,磁共振(MR)成像已成为一种有前景的诊断放射学技术,它不存在电离辐射,由于新的脉冲序列发展,能够实现卓越的组织对比分辨率。因此,MR小肠造影有可能成为CD患者小肠成像的首选方式。
