Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

227
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Imaging Studies III: Gastrointestinal Motility Studies and Virtual Colonoscopy

83
This lesson explores three gastrointestinal imaging techniques: radionuclide testing, colonic transit studies, and virtual colonoscopy.
Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

331
Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis

173
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus01:25

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

205
Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.
Rectal Inspection
Begin by inspecting the perianal and anal areas for color, texture, rashes,...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease requiring accurate assessment of disease activity.
  • Dual-energy CT enterography (DECTE) offers advanced imaging capabilities for evaluating gastrointestinal conditions.
  • Distinguishing active from inactive CD lesions is crucial for guiding therapeutic decisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of using DECTE parameters to predict the pathological activity of Crohn's disease.
  • To assess the diagnostic performance of specific DECTE-derived metrics in differentiating active from inactive CD segments.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of clinical, endoscopic, imaging, and pathological data from 55 CD patients undergoing DECTE.
  • Pathological results served as the reference standard to classify 84 intestinal segments as active or inactive.
  • Quantitative analysis of normalized iodine concentration (NIC), energy-spectrum curve slope K, dual energy index (DEI), and fat fraction (FF) in arterial and venous phases.

    • Main Results:

    • NIC, energy-spectrum curve slope K, and DEI showed significant differences between active and inactive CD segments (P < 0.05).
    • Fat fraction (FF) did not show significant differentiation between active and inactive segments (P > 0.05).
    • Arterial phase parameters, particularly NIC (AUC=0.908) and DEI (sensitivity=0.944), demonstrated high predictive ability for intestinal activity.

    Conclusions:

    • DECTE parameters, including NIC, energy-spectrum curve slope K, and DEI, effectively differentiate active from inactive intestinal segments in CD patients.
    • These quantitative metrics derived from DECTE can aid clinicians in determining appropriate treatment strategies for Crohn's disease.
