Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) with oral contrast has become a necessary imaging modality for diagnosing various abnormalities. A challenge faced in younger patients is cooperation and oral contrast tolerance. General anesthesia (GA) becomes essential for optimal imaging, ensuring patient safety and comfort. This study describes our experience with conducting MREs under GA in high-risk pediatric patients and aims to demonstrate the safety and success of this practice. Read More

Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) uniquely provides anatomic and functional characterization of intestinal morphological abnormalities. Prior adult studies have linked altered small bowel motility to strictures and fibrosis, but pediatric data are limited. It is unclear if motility can predict surgical risk in children with Crohn’s Disease (CD). We aim to evaluate motility in small bowel, its association with clinical phenotype, and surgical outcome in pediatric CD compared to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and healthy controls (HC).
