Utility of panenteric capsule endoscopy for the detection of small-bowel Crohn's disease in patients with a normal magnetic resonance enterography: A prospective observational pilot study.

Background And Aim: Capsule endoscopy allows the direct visualization of the small bowel. We examined the diagnostic utility of a new modality, namely panenteric Crohn's capsule endoscopy (CE), in detecting active small-bowel Crohn's disease (CD) in those with normal magnetic resonance enterography (MRE).

Methods: We prospectively recruited patients with a diagnosis of CD or suspected small-bowel CD in whom the MRE was normal.
