Abstract:Background: Conventional magnetic resonance enterography is limited in differentiating active inflammation and fibrosis in lesions of Crohn's disease (CD), thus providing a restricted basis for therapeutic decision making. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is an emerging imaging tool that differentiates soft tissues on the basis of their viscoelastic properties. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of MRE in assessing the viscoelastic properties of small bowel samples and quantifying di… Show more
