Crohn’s disease: MRI texture analysis

The authors investigate if MRI texture analysis (MRTA) of T2-weighted images in Crohn’s disease can provide useful information on histological and MRI disease activity in patients undergoing ileal resection.

Key Points:

• MR texture analysis features may be associated with Crohn’s disease histological activity.
• Texture analysis features may correlate with MR-dependent Crohn’s disease activity scores.
• The utility of MR texture analysis in Crohn’s disease merits further investigation.
