Evaluation of wall thickness ratio, a new MRI parameter, in predicting response to biologic therapy in patients with ileal and ileocolic Crohn's disease
Project objectives
Patients affected by Crohn's disease with ileal and ileocolic localization will be evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging of intestinal loops, using the wall thickness ratio detected at different time intervals from the beginning of biological therapy, to predict long-term clinical outcome.
Start and end date
