Abstract
BackgroundMagnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is increasingly used in children due to growing concerns of radiation. ObjectiveTo determine the performance of MRE, imaging findings were compared to wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) and histology results in children with/or suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Materials and methodsPathology and WCE reports were retrospectively reviewed in 23 patients who had MRE. ResultsThe sensitivity of MRE was 75.0% while the sensitivity of WCE was 77.8%. ConclusionMRE and WCE are complementary techniques in evaluation of the small bowel in IBD.
