CT

CT and MRI scans are useful for evaluating the small bowel with enteroclysis protocols.[1]They are additionally useful for looking for intra-abdominal complications of Crohn's disease such as abscesses, small bowel obstruction, or fistulae.[2] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is another option for imaging the small bowel as well as looking for complications, though it is more expensive and less readily available.[3]
