Magnetic resonance enterography and wireless capsule endoscopy in the evaluation of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is increasingly used in children due to growing concerns of radiation.

Objective

To determine the performance of MRE, imaging findings were compared to wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) and histology results in children with/or suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Materials and methods

Pathology and WCE reports were retrospectively reviewed in 23 patients who had MRE.

Results

The sensitivity of MRE was 75.0% while the sensitivity of WCE was 77.8%.

Conclusion

MRE and WCE are complementary techniques in evaluation of the small bowel in IBD.
