Applications of CT in Differentiating Crohn's Disease Activity

"Crohn's disease is an inflammatory disease with non-specific clinical manifestations. The lesions are more common in the ileocecal area and the end of the ileum, and also can affect the entire digestive tract. In recent years, the domestic incidence of Crohn's disease has been increasing. At present, CT diagnosis still lacks the gold standard and requirescombination of clinical manifestations, endoscopic examination, imaging examination and laboratory examination results. CT has showed advantages of non-invasive inspection, fast imaging speed, high tissue density resolution, and strong patient acceptability. In addition, the examination can clearly show the internal and external tissue structure of the digestive tract, which has been widely used in the diagnosis and activity evaluation of Crohn's disease.

In order to clarify the clinical value of CT in assessing the activity of Crohn's disease, this study mainly used retrospective analysis of the CT manifestations and clinical data of patients with Crohn's disease to explore the clinical value of CT in assessing the activity of patients with Crohn's disease."
