Keywords: Digestive, Quantitative Imaging, Crohn's disease; stricture; mpMRI;Small bowel stricture (SBS) is the one of the most common complications of Crohn’s Disease (CD) and it usually requires surgical management. Imaging diagnosis and characterization of SBS is essential for proper patient management, however this may be challenging with conventional MRI techniques. In current study, we investigate the utility of advance MRI techniques namely multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) including diffusion, perfusion, and motility in the characterization and tissue composition in CD-related SBS. Our preliminary results suggest that mpMRI parameters are promising tools to characterize SBS and may be helpful in the stratification of patients for medical treatment vs surgery.
