Magnetic resonance imaging and colonoscopy in Crohn's disease: A retrospective single-center comparative study

Aims: An optimized diagnostic approach to patients with Crohn's disease is required for tailored treatment strategies. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has evolved as a powerful tool for the detection of small bowel involvement. However, the significance of MRI without bowel preparation for the assessment of the colon as compared to endoscopy remains unclear.
