Magnetic resonance enterography and bowel ultrasonography in Saudi Arabian patients with Crohn's disease: A correlation study
BACKGROUND: Crohn's disease (CD) is a complex autoimmune disease that results in chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. CD activity is determined through clinical, laboratory, endoscopic, and radiological evaluations. Studies that examine the data of radiological modalities of eval...

description | BACKGROUND: Crohn's disease (CD) is a complex autoimmune disease that results in chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. CD activity is determined through clinical, laboratory, endoscopic, and radiological evaluations. Studies that examine the data of radiological modalities of evaluation are lacking, particularly in Saudi Arabia. This study compares magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) and ultrasonography (US) findings among patients diagnosed with CD, to uncover a possible correlation between these techniques. METHODS: All patients were assessed for disease activity using MRE and US. RESULTS: A total of 376 patients with CD were recruited. The mean age was 14.9 ± 4.3 years (range, 8–27 years), and males constituted 64% (n = 239) of the cohort. Overall, a strong positive correlation was found between US and MRE evaluations of disease activity (r = 0.83, P < 0.001). US activity correlated positively with MRE findings of enlarged lymph nodes (P < 0.001), bowel wall enhancement (P < 0.001), distal jejunal thickness (P < 0.001), and distal ileal thickness (P < 0.001). The mean difference in wall thickness was significant based on gender (P < 0.001), age in proximal jejunal thickness (P < 0.001), and distal ileal thickness (P = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS: MRE and US correlate significantly as imaging techniques for the assessment of CD activity. |
