| Abstract | ||
| Background: While the terminal ileum is most commonly affected, Crohn's disease (CD) is characterized by transmural inflammation involving skip lesions that ranges from the mouth to the anus. Extraenteric symptoms of CD include painful ulceration and, in the long run, the formation of sinus tracts; these tracts can be linked to abscesses and fistulae. For both the initial diagnosis and subsequent follow-up, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential as traditional methods fail to accurately evaluate many small bowel and extraenteric diseases. Objective: We aimed in this review article to assess Possible Role of MRI in detection of CD. Methods:In our search for information on CD and the role of MRI, we used Google Scholar, Science Direct, PubMed, and other internet databases. Additionally, the writers combed through relevant literature for references; however, they only included research that were either very recent or thorough, covering the years from 2010 to 2023. Due of lack of translation-related sources, documents in languages other than English were excluded. Excluded from consideration were works in progress, unpublished publications, abstracts from conferences, and dissertations that did not form part of broader scientific investigations. Conclusion: In comparison with CT enterography (CTE) as well as more conventional barium-based fluoroscopic exams (such as small bowel series as well as enteroclysis), MRI offers a number of important benefits. Irritable bowel disease (IBD) patients, who often have symptoms early in life and may need numerous imaging exams to track therapy progress, benefit greatly from MRI because it does not involve ionizing radiation. | ||
