Overview
CT Scan
CT and MRI scans are useful for evaluating the small bowel with enteroclysis protocols.[1]They are additionally useful for looking for intra-abdominal complications of Crohn's disease such as abscesses, small bowel obstruction, or fistulae.[2] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are another option for imaging the small bowel as well as looking for complications, though it is more expensive and less readily available[3]
