New magnetic resonance imaging sequences for fibrosis assessment in Crohn’s disease: a pilot study
Résumé
Patients with Crohn's disease can develop intestinal strictures, containing various degrees of inflammation and fibrosis. Differentiation of the main component of a structuring lesion is the key for defining the therapeutic management. We evaluated new magnetic resonance imaging sequences (IVIM (Intravoxel Incoherent Motion imaging) and T1 mapping) for assessing fibrosis in Crohn's disease.
