Read our Crohn's Disease research guide →Researchers are testing a new, faster version of an MRI scan called abbreviated MR enterography to see if it can accurately show inflammation and complications of Crohn's disease in your small bowel. The new scan takes about 15 minutes instead of the usual 60 minutes, and it skips some of the preparation steps that can be uncomfortable. If it works as well as the standard scan, it could make imaging much easier and faster for people with Crohn's disease.
Standard MRI scans for Crohn's disease take a long time and require patients to drink contrast liquid, which many people find unpleasant. This trial aims to prove that a faster, simpler version can give doctors all the information they need to diagnose and monitor your condition.

You will come in for the MRI scan that you were already scheduled to have for your Crohn's disease care. Instead of the standard 60-minute scan, you'll have the new abbreviated scan, which takes about 15 minutes and uses water instead of oral contrast liquid. You'll also fill out a brief survey about your experience with the scan. The study is observation only—you're not taking any medication or receiving an intervention, just helping researchers test whether this faster imaging method works well.
