title: [Crohn's disease and MRI: assessment of inflammatory activity and tissue damage].
abstract: Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that affects mainly young people and includes periods of remission interspersed with occasional flare-ups. Entero-MR (Magnetic Resonance) is a non-radiating and a non-invasive tomography imaging technique. Entero-MR has recently proven its ability to assess inflammatory activity and structural damage of the bowel in Crohn's disease which are fundamental elements in the therapy planning. These considerations explain why entero-MR is playing an increasing role in the evaluation of Crohn's disease.
