Abstract

Magnetic resonance (MR) is even more becoming important in the evaluation of the small bowel, thanks to the technologic advances of the machines and thanks to the improvement of specific diagnostic protocols of study. MR is a pivotal in identifying acute stenosis and alterations of the bowel wall and in differentiating between inflammatory and fibrotic alterations. Diffusion techniques and dynamic MRI allows the assessment of the degree of disease activity of IBD, although nuclear medicine represents the gold standard.
