GUARNIZO, A. et al. Modalidades de imagen en la evaluación de enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2016, vol.80, n.3, pp.183-191. ISSN 1852-9992.

Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic condition with increasing incidence. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are the most common pathologies. Computed tomography (CT) enterography and magnetic resonance (MR) enterography are the methods of choice for evaluating and monitoring this entity, assessing the appearance of intestinal wall, mucosa, extra-intestinal manifestations, and associated complications. The preferred imaging methods must be selected according to the clinical conditions of the patient.
