Abstract

The modalities for diagnostic imaging in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have dramatically changed in the last decade. Several years ago the only methods to assess the small bowel were conventional enteroclysis or a small bowel 'follow through'. Nowadays, wireless capsule endoscopy as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with virtual endoscopy represent new evolving methods to depict and assess the small bowel. This article describes these recently introduced methods in the diagnostic assessment of the small bowel and discusses the clinical significance based on the current literature. Copyright (C) 2003 S.
