Table 2. MR Enterography Scoring System for Bowel Inflammation Severity.

Parameter Scoring
0 1 2 3
Bowel wall thickness, mm 1–3 > 3–5 > 5–7 > 7
Mural SI on T2 weighted image Equivalent to that of normal bowel wall Minor increase in SI Moderate increase in SI Marked increase in SI: bowel wall contains areas of high SI, approaching that of the luminal content
Perimural SI on T2 weighted images Equivalent to that of normal mesentery Increase in mesenteric SI but no fluid collection Small fluid rim (≤ 2 mm) Large fluid rim (> 2 mm)

SI = signal intensity
