Evaluation and management of Crohns disease is often
clinically difficult, but advances in magnetic resonance
enterography (MRE) have helped to overcome a number of
obstacles. Specifically, MRE is able to accurately
characterize a small bowel stenosis and differentiate
one caused by active inflammation from one caused by
chronic fibrotic changes, which is an important
distinction clinically. This Educational E-Poster will
provide radiologists and trainees with the information
needed to confidently evaluate a small bowel stenosis on
MRE, including an overview of the literature, an
introduction of the mnemonic device STENOSIS, and
sample cases to illustrate all salient features.
