Gastrointestinal imaging-practical magnetic resonance imaging approach

Figure 12 Recurrent Crohn’s disease post-surgery. A: Coronal; B: Axial T2-weighted single shot fast spin echo images; C: Coronal balanced steady state free precession; D: Coronal fat suppressed post-gadolinium 3D-GRE T1-weighted images. The patient is post distal ileal resection with a low-lying ileocolic anastomosis. The remaining distal ileum displays signs of active inflammation, namely bowel wall thickening and submucosal edema (A and B) associated with mucosal and serosal increased enhancement post-gadolinium (D) in keeping with recurrent Crohn’s disease post-surgery. GRE: Gradient recalled echo.
