Overview
There are no MRI findings associated with celiac disease.
MRI
MRI has a great specificity among all imaging modalities for celiac disease diagnosis, but the sensitivity of MRI differs based on the finding. MRI may be normal in less than 20% of cases. The most important intestinal findings of MRI include:
- Bowel dilatation
- Increased number of ileal folds
- Reversed fold pattern abnormality
- Increased intestinal wall thickness
- Intussusception
- Mesenteric lymphadenopathy
- Mesenteric vascular changes
- Ascites
