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.
