Bowel wall changes | Diagnosis “bowel wall inflammation” | Stenosis | Abscess | Fistula | Local lymph-adenopathy | Mesenteric fat injection/comb sign | |
US = MRE (no pathological change) | 21 (8) | 83 (33) | 150 (60) | 221 (84) | 211 (88) | 187 (75) | 182 (73) |
US = MRE (pathological change) | 163 (65) | 29 (12) | 20 (8) | 9 (4) | 5 (2) | 4 (2) | 4 (2) |
US > MRE | 28 (11) | 6 (2) | 8 (3) | 4 (2) | 2 (1) | 15 (6) | 4 (2) |
MRE > US | 38 (15) | 132 (53) | 72 (29) | 16 (6) | 32 (13) | 44 (18) | 60 (24) |
US: Ultrasound; MRE: Magnetic resonance enterography. In “US = MRE” the number (and percentage) of cases, when both modalities found the same amount of pathological features (patient based) are identical. For “US > MRE” the reports based on ultrasound described more pathological changes compared to the MRE, while for “MRE > US” more findings in the MRE reports were detected (because of truncation the percentage values in a column can exceed 100%).
