MR and CT are equally accurate to assess disease activity and bowel damage in CD. MR may be superior to CT in detecting intestinal strictures and ileal wall enhancement. MR may represent an alternative technique to CT in assessing ileocolonic CD.

Bowel US is very accurate in assessing CD and is a non-invasive, easy-to-use tool to manage CD patients in clinical practice.
