Imaging scans to detect bowel inflammation in Crohn's disease patients

This trial tests a new imaging approach using two types of PET-MRI scans to detect and measure inflammation in the small bowel of people with suspected Crohn's disease. The scans work together to show where inflammation is happening and how much blood flow is reaching inflamed areas. Researchers hope this combination will help doctors diagnose and understand Crohn's disease more accurately.

Currently, detecting small bowel inflammation in Crohn's disease can be challenging and requires multiple tests. This study aims to see whether combining two advanced imaging techniques can provide a clearer, more complete picture of bowel inflammation in one visit, potentially making diagnosis faster and more accurate.
