Table 1 Rutgeerts and magnetic resonance score for classification of postoperative recurrence in Crohn's disease
Rutgeerts scoreDescriptionMR scoreDescription
i0No lesionsMR0No findings
i1Less than 5 aphthous lesionsMR1Minor mucosal irregularities: Slight wall thickening Slight mural contrast enhancement No stenosis
i2More than 5 aphthous lesions with normal mucosa between the lesions or skip areas or larger lesions or lesions confined to ileocolonic anastomosis
i3Diffuse aphthous ileitis with diffusely-inflamed mucosaMR2Major mucosal abnormalities: Distinct bowel wall thickening Distinct mural contrast enhancement Low grade stenosis without prestenotic dilatation
i4Diffuse inflammation with already large ulcers, nodules and/or narrowingMR3Same finding as MR 2 plus: Transmural edema with T2w signal increase and contrast enhancement of the perienteric fat High grade stenosis without prestenotic dilatation Extramural complications (fistula, abscess, conglomeration of bowel loops)
