title: Magnetic resonance enterography and wireless capsule endoscopy in the evaluation of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is increasingly used in children due to growing concerns of radiation.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To determine the performance of MRE, imaging findings were compared to wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) and histology results in children with/or suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
  
  
  METHODS
  Pathology and WCE reports were retrospectively reviewed in 23 patients who had MRE.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The sensitivity of MRE was 75.0% while the sensitivity of WCE was 77.8%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  MRE and WCE are complementary techniques in evaluation of the small bowel in IBD.
