MRI enterography (MRE)

Entero-RM

This non-invasive diagnostic procedure uses an electromagnetic field and radio waves (from a transmitter and receiver) to acquire high-definition anatomical images of the intestines. It is a radiation-free procedure. It usually entails the use of a paramagnetic contrast (gadolinium). It is mainly indicated for the diagnosis, monitoring and control of response to treatment in patients with Crohn's disease.
