Radiologic staging of granulomatous enteritis.
A staging of granulomatous enteritis (Crohn's disease) based only on roentgen findings is proposed. This would provide a common base to the analysis of different groups of patients and to the evaluation of management results. Twenty of the most relevant signs have been selected and divided into four stages, each referring to an increasing involvement of the bowel. Every case of disease should be classified in the stage to which its more advanced sign belongs.
