Prospective characterization of intestinal MRI intravoxel incoherent motion in pediatric and young adult patients with newly diagnosed small bowel Crohn’s disease
Background
MRI diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is commonly used in MR enterography protocols for assessment of intestinal inflammation in patients with Crohn’s disease. The intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) approach to DWI has been proposed as a more objective approach, providing quantitative parameters that reflect water diffusivity (D), blood flow (D*), and perfusion fraction (f).
Purpose
We aimed to determine if DWI-IVIM metrics from the terminal ileum in patients with newly diagnosed Crohn’s disease differ from healthy participants and change in response to biologic medical therapy.
Methods
In this prospective case–control study, 20 consecutive pediatric patients (mean age = 14 years ± 2 [SD]; eight females) with newly diagnosed ileal Crohn’s disease and 15 pediatric healthy participants (mean age = 18 years ± 4 [SD]; eight females) underwent research MRI examinations of the small bowel between 12/2018 and 10/2021. Participants with Crohn's disease underwent MR studies at baseline, 6 weeks, and 6 months following initiation of anti-TNF-alpha therapy, whereas control participants underwent one research MRI examination. The MRI protocol included a DWI-IVIM sequence with nine b-values and the IVIM parameters (D, D*, and f) were extracted. Unpaired t-tests and mixed-effects models were used for analyses.
Results
Mean IVIM D (P < 0.001), D* (P = 0.004), and f (P = 0.001) metrics were lower for Crohn’s patients at the time of diagnosis compared to healthy participants. Mean IVIM f value increased over time in response to medical therapy (mean f at baseline, 22% ± 6%; 6 weeks, 25% ± 7%; 6 months, 29% ± 10%; P = 0.016). Mean IVIM D* value increased over time in response to treatment (mean D* at baseline, 10.9 ± 3.0 × 10−3 mm2/s; 6 weeks, 11.8 ± 2.8 × 10−3 mm2/s; 6 months, 13.3 ± 3.3 × 10−3 mm2/s; P = 0.047), while there was no significant change in mean IVIM D value (P = 0.10).
Conclusion
MRI DWI-IVIM metrics in patients with ileal Crohn’s disease change over time in response to biological therapy and help discriminate these patients from healthy participants.
