Magnetic Resonance Enterography (MRE) is the main imaging modality for the assessment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children. Beyond its initial diagnostic value, MRE plays a significant role in monitoring therapeutic response and detecting potential complications. This session will delve into the various applications of MRE in managing IBD beyond initial endoscopic diagnosis. We will examine how MRE aids in evaluating treatment response and discuss its use in assessing patients with acute symptoms. Furthermore, we will explore the potential of MRE for identifying extraluminal and non-inflammatory findings that influence therapy and contribute to informed decision-making for optimal patient management.
