Changes in the Management of Patients with Crohn's Disease Based on Magnetic Resonance Enterography Patterns.

Background And Aims: Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) has become an important modality of radiological imaging in the evaluation of Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of MRE in the assessment of disease activity and abdominal complications and in the making of therapeutic decisions for patients with CD.

Methods: In a cross-sectional retrospective study, we selected 74 patients with CD who underwent MRE and ileocolonoscopy with an interval between the two exams of up to 30 days between January 2011 and December 2017.
