Abstract
Accurate evaluation of Crohn′s disease is critical for determination of a therapeutic plan. Computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can not only display the intraluminal and intraperitoneal inflammation objectively, but also reveal accurately the affected mesentery and related complications comprehensively, which attracted more and more attention in recent years. This review discussed the choice of CT/MRI examination methods, their roles in determining the severity of intestinal and mesenteric inflammation, the nature of intestinal stenosis, the extent of fistula, abscess and cellulitis, and the value in diagnosing postoperative complications, in order to investigate the application value of CT/MRI examination in clinical diagnosis and treatment of Crohn′s disease.
Key words:
