MR enterography a 'favorable' option for evaluating Crohn's disease
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, November 30 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSJ08-06 | Room E353AResearchers of a new study to be presented on Tuesday concluded that MR enterography compares favorably to endoscopy for evaluating known or suspected Crohn's disease -- and it does so in a noninvasive manner without exposing patients to ionizing radiation.

3T matches 1.5T MR in evaluating ileocolonic Crohn's disease
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, November 30 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSJ08-03 | Room E353AIn this scientific paper, Italian researchers recommend the use of 3-tesla MRI for patients with ileocolonic Crohn's disease because of the modality's superiority in detecting mucosal ulcers, increased signal-to-noise ratio, and reduced image acquisition time.
