Figure 3. — Correlation between MRE, CGR and VCE in a 15-year-old male patient with Crohn’s disease confirmed at histology. (A) Coronal T2-weighted TrueFISP image revealed irregular wall thickening and luminal stenosis of the distal ileum (short white arrow) and wall thickening of the ascending colon (white long arrow); (B) enhanced coronal T1-weighted image revealed wall thickening of the distal ileum (short white arrows) with contrast enhancement; (C) axial T2-weighted fat suppression images revealed wall thickening of the distal ileum (short white arrow) and ascending colon (long white arrow); (D) enhanced axial T1-weighted image revealed wall thickening of the ileum (short white arrow) and ascending colon (long white arrow) with contrast enhancement; (E) the CGR image revealed luminal stenosis of the distal ileum (short white arrows), mucosal fold thickening and edema; (F) VCE clearly revealed distal ileum mucosal changes with ulcerations, congestion, edema (short white arrow) and numerous polypoid lesions (long white arrow). MRE, magnetic resonance enterography; CGR, conventional gastrointestinal radiography; VCE, video capsule endoscopy; TrueFISP, true fast imaging with steady-state precession.
