Role of MR enterography versus ileo-olonoscopy in the assessment of inflammatory bowel diseases

Abstract

Background: Chronic idiopathic inflammation ofGI tract is the hallmark of inflammatory bowel diseases. Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis have been the two conditions that IBD studied cases most frequently experience. Aim: To diagnose IBD characteristics, specifically Crohn's disease & ulcerative colitis, in addition to identifying disease aggravation (Activity), present research compared MRE results with those from ileo-colonoscopy. Summary: For identification of inflammatory bowel disease, MRE has been a sensitive, reasonably priced, noninvasive, & radiation-free method. Unlike ileo-colonoscopy, it might evaluate entire small intestine, measure afflicted loop exactly, & look for activity indications like lymphadenopathy & mural thickening. Nevertheless, ileo-colonoscopy had been more effective at spotting mucosal erosions & superficial ulcers, & it helps evaluate large intestine & terminal ileum in IBD-studied cases. MRE must be incorporated into IBD treatment regimens for small-bowel, colonic, & extra-enteric assessment, disease activity monitoring, & anti-inflammatory therapy response.
