The purpose of this exhibit is to: • Explain the role of MRI as an invaluable tool in IBD due to its excellent soft tissue contrast and absence of ionizing radiation in mostly patients of young age requiring repeated radiological examinations • Review pathophysiology of IBD • Discuss use of MR enterography in initial diagnosis of IBD and its extraluminal complications • Explain the potential use of MR enterography for surveillance in IBD patients

• Pathophysiology of IBD • MR enterography protocol for IBD • Approach for initial IBD diagnosis: MR imaging features of ulcerative colitis versus Crohn’s disease and acute versus chronic IBD • MR imaging characteristic of IBD complications • MR imaging as surveillance tool for IBD patients • Conclusion
