Abstract
Over the past decade, magnetic resonance (MR) enterography has become established as the first-line imaging test for patients with Crohn׳s disease. This article reviews the role of MR enterography in assessing the extent and activity of Crohn׳s disease at baseline and on treatment follow-up. It discusses the role of diffusion-weighted imaging, and the recent introduction of MR scoring systems to facilitate noninvasive objective assessment of disease activity and cumulative bowel damage.
