Crohn’s disease often leads to bowel wall changes that are difficult to characterise without cross-sectional imaging. While CT involves radiation and MRI can be costly or impractical, transabdominal ultrasound offers a bedside option that can be repeated and integrated into routine care. A recent article published in Insights into Imaging evaluated...Read more

Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition with remitting and relapsing activity that often requires repeated imaging to assess extent, complications and treatment response. Endoscopy and biopsy underpin diagnosis, yet cross-sectional imaging with ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance is pivotal for mapping disease and...Read more

Mucosal healing is a critical treatment goal in Crohn’s disease, associated with long-term remission and reduced complications. Although various clinical, biochemical and genetic predictors have been explored, none have proven consistently effective in routine practice. Intestinal ultrasound has gained attention as a non-invasive, detailed imaging...Read more

Effective imaging is essential in managing luminal Crohn’s disease (CD), a chronic inflammatory bowel condition marked by unpredictable relapses and remissions. The European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR) has issued practice recommendations to guide radiologists in diagnosing and monitoring luminal CD, with a focus...Read more

Surgical intervention in Crohn’s disease (CD) often stems from complications caused by intestinal fibrosis, a condition marked by excessive connective tissue formation in the bowel wall. Accurate assessment of this fibrosis remains a clinical challenge, as current diagnostic methods either lack precision or involve invasive procedures. With no...Read more

Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic, inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract that poses significant challenges for both patients and healthcare providers. The disease can lead to debilitating symptoms, such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea and malnutrition, and is often accompanied by complications like strictures, fistulas and abscesses. Managing...Read more

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disorder characterised by complications that significantly affect a patient's quality of life. A hallmark feature of CD is the formation of creeping fat (CF), which is the wrapping of mesenteric fat around inflamed intestinal sections. This phenomenon has been linked to strictures in CD, contributing...Read more

The NHS has massive amounts of health data held within its various trusts and other facilities, and these "data silos" make it difficult for researchers and innovators to access and use important data about people's health. This problem will soon be a thing of the past as new data hubs – a total of seven – are set to be rolled out across the UK starting...Read more

Expert recommendations for the evaluation, interpretation, and use of computed tomography enterography (CTE) and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) in small bowel Crohn’s disease are published in the March 2018 issue of Radiology. The guidance is issued by an expert panel formed by the Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR). The guideline establishes...Read more
