Abstract

25% of patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) develop severe stricturing disease which is non-responsive to standard-of-care medication. Early and non-invasive determination of the extent of inflammation and fibrosis within the stricture via CT enterography (CTE) could facilitate the selection of targeted therapy or earlier surgical resection to improve patient outcomes; but currently there is no validated and reliable approach for this differentiation. We present initial results for machine-reader evaluation of severe inflammation and fibrosis in CD strictures via quantitative radiomic features and expert radiologist scoring on CTE.
