Idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease in childhood was once considered rare but is now being increasingly recognized. Although ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, the two most common types, have some features in common with the adult form, in all of these diseases the differential diagnoses, presentation, and therapy differ in many important ways from those in adults. Infants are also susceptible to diseases not seen in older children. These differences and the often extremely young age of the patient markedly affect the choice and performance of diagnostic imaging techniques. These techniques have to be modeled more to the individual's requirements than in adults, and infants need a different approach even from older children.
儿童特发性炎症性肠病曾被认为较为罕见，但如今越来越受到关注。虽然溃疡性结肠炎和克罗恩病这两种最常见的类型与成人型有一些共同特征，但在所有这些疾病中，鉴别诊断、临床表现和治疗在许多重要方面与成人不同。婴儿还易患大龄儿童中未见的疾病。这些差异以及患者通常极为年幼的年龄显著影响诊断成像技术的选择和应用。这些技术必须比成人更多地根据个体需求进行调整，而且婴儿甚至需要与大龄儿童不同的方法。
