Inflammatory bowel disease imaging: Current practice and future directions

Figure 4 Abnormal bowel peristalsis visualized by cinematic magnetic resonance enterography imaging. Two static images from a cinematic steady state free precession image series demonstrate multiple normally peristalsing small bowel loops (A, B: arrowheads) as well as a fixed hypoperistaltic loop of inflamed small bowel (B; arrows). This loop also demonstrates wall thickening and mesenteric hypervascularity consistent with active inflammation.
