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
