| Popis: | Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) plays a critical role in the management of Crohn's disease in the pediatric population. The ability to provide dynamic assessment of disease burden, complications, and therapeutic response without ionizing radiation makes it an ideal tool for younger patients requiring frequent follow-up. With a growing array of available treatment options, a sound understanding of MRE is critical in directing management aimed at curbing the physical and emotional morbidity associated with the lifelong condition. The goal of this article is to provide a practical overview of MRE in the pediatric population. This includes a review of our technique, approach to interpretation, pictorial collection of findings, and discussion of the role MRE plays in management. |
