The purpose of our study is to compare an abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the bowel or magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) protocol to a conventional, standard of care MRE in children and adults with Crohn's Disease.
This multi-center study will evaluate the effectiveness of an abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the bowel or magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) to document the presence and severity of small bowel inflammation, the presence and features of stricturing and penetrating disease in children and adults with Crohn's Disease. The abbreviated MRI of the bowel or MRE will not involve IV contrast or an injection of glucagon and water will replace the oral contrast used in standard of care MREs. Scan time will be greatly reduced with the abbreviated MRE ( approximately 15 minutes) compared to a standard of care MRE (approximately 60 minutes).

RECRUITINGCompare clinical MRE with research MRE
Our abbreviated magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) will be non-inferior to a standard clinical MRE in detecting small bowel inflammation, strictures and penetrating disease associated with Crohn's Disease.
Time frame: 3 years
Patient experiences and preferences between the abbreviated MRE and the standard clinical MRE.
Patients/patients parents will answer a survey to determine if the abbreviated magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) or the clinical MRE is preferred.
Time frame: 3 years
Willingness to trade diagnostic performance for patient experience
We will ask patients a series of questions to determine their tolerance for trading diagnostic performance for a better patient experience.
Time frame: 3 years
