CT ENTEROGRAPHY FOR CROHN'S DISEASE
Abstract
Cross-sectional imaging techniques are currently a mainstay of evaluation of patients with Crohn's disease due to their ability to evaluate the entire bowel and extra-luminal complications including abscess and fistulas. CT enterography is most commonly performed imaging modality, because of the wide accessibility and the lower price. Recently CT enterography has demonstrated very good efficacy both in detection of Crohn's disease as well as in differentiation of active from chronic small intestine changes.
