Computed Tomography Enterography and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Abdominal Key
A perianal fistula is an abnormal connection between the epithilialised surface of the anal canal and the skin. Obstruction of anal gland which leads to stasis and infection with absces and fistula formation (most common cause). Inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease more common than colitis ulcerosa)

Technical considerations MRI of the bowel (like abdominal MRI in general) is based on the principles of ultra-fast imaging. In the past, most examinations were performed on 1.5T scanners equipped with strong gradient systems. Only recently, bowel MRI on 3T systems has proved feasible. 19
Thickened Small Bowel Loops due to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Small Bowel Case Studies
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the role of imaging in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including detection of extraluminal complications and extraintestinal manifestations of IBD, assessment of disease activity and treatment response, and discrimination of inflammatory from fibrotic strictures.. Radiology. 2006; 238:517-530.

INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE IMAGING(RADIOLOGY)
The use of cross-sectional imaging and ultrasonography has long complemented endoscopic assessment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Clinical symptoms alone are often not enough to assess disease activity, so a reliance on non-invasive techniques is essential. In this paper, we aim to examine the current use of radiological modalities in aiding the management of patients with IBD. We focus.
INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE Radiological interpretation for Doctors, Medical students, Nurses
The current status of MRI in ulcerative colitis is that of a promising, non-invasive technique for imaging extent of more severe disease. The most striking abnormalities in ulcerative colitis are colonic wall thickening and increased enhancement. The median wall thickness in ulcerative colitis ranges from 4.7 to 9.8 mm.

INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE IMAGING(RADIOLOGY)
Crohn's disease is a chronic, recurrent inflammation of the bowel wall of unknown origin. The disease has a tendency for transmural progression with ulceration, abscesses, fistula formation, fibrosis and (intermittent) luminal obstruction.
PPT Radiographic Imaging in Inflammatory Bowel Disease PowerPoint Presentation ID6712333
This work makes recommendations for imaging findings that indicate small bowel Crohn's disease, how inflammatory small bowel Crohn's disease and its complications should be described, elucidates potential extra-enteric findings that may be seen at imaging, and recommends that cross-sectional enterography should be performed at diagnosis of Crohn.

Citation, DOI, disclosures and article data. The fat halo sign (in colonic imaging) refers to a feature seen on CT abdominal scans, and represents infiltration of the submucosa with fat, between the muscularis propria and the mucosa. It is characterized by an inner (mucosa) and outer (muscularis propria and serosa) ring of enhancing bowel wall.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Colon Case Studies CTisus CT Scanning
Crohn's disease is characterized by inflammatory lesions in the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly in the terminal ileum and colon. The lesions are usually transmural, which can lead to complications like stenoses, fistulas and abscesses.
INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE IMAGING(RADIOLOGY)
Crohn disease, also known as regional enteritis, is an idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by widespread discontinuous gastrointestinal tract inflammation. The terminal ileum and proximal colon are most often affected. Extraintestinal disease is common. Epidemiology
INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE IMAGING(RADIOLOGY)
Sensitivity of MRI for the number of affected bowel segments was 97.5% with a specificity of 100%, whereas ultrasound scored 76% and 75%, respectively. For stenosis, MRI had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 96%, and ultrasound a sensitivity of 58% and specificity of 100%.

Endoscopic assessment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can often be imprac-tical and burdensome on both patient and clinician. Complementing endoscopy with radiological imaging has long been established practice in IBD care. With advancements in imaging, there have been great strides in the disease moni-toring and management of IBD. Different
