Abstract
Cross sectional imaging for the diagnosis of Crohn's disease has benefited from recent technological advances regarding multi-detector computed tomography and rapid imaging with MRI. Both CT and MRI are useful for early diagnosis and characterization of the wall and peritoneal diseases. Multi-detector CT can show the diseases with multiplanar reconstruction, and MRI with rapid sequences is recommended for the imaging of recto-anal complications. CT and MRI may now be included in the evaluation of a patient with Crohn's disease, along with conventional imaging and endoscopy.
