Clinical outcome is distinct between radiological stricture and endoscopic stricture in ileal Crohn’s disease
Differences in clinical adverse outcomes (CAO) based on different intestinal stricturing definitions in Crohn’s disease (CD) are poorly documented. This study aims to compare CAO between radiological stricture...

A novel identification system combining diffusion kurtosis imaging with conventional magnetic resonance imaging to assess intestinal strictures in patients with Crohn’s disease
To determine the utility of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) for assessing bowel fibrosis and to establish a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based classification based on DKI and conventional MRI paramete...

Magnetisation transfer imaging adds information to conventional MRIs to differentiate inflammatory from fibrotic components of small intestinal strictures in Crohn’s disease
Identifying inflammation- or fibrosis-predominant strictures in Crohn’s disease (CD) is crucial for treatment strategies. We evaluated the additive value of magnetisation transfer (MT) to conventional MRI for ...

IVIM with fractional perfusion as a novel biomarker for detecting and grading intestinal fibrosis in Crohn’s disease
Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides information on both perfusion and diffusion and has been used to evaluate Crohn’s disease (CD) activity and fibr...

Ability of DWI to characterize bowel fibrosis depends on the degree of bowel inflammation
Although diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is reported to be accurate in detecting bowel inflammation in Crohn’s disease (CD), its ability to assess bowel fibrosis remains unclear. This study assessed the role ...
