Figure 1 Magnetic resonance imaging of a typical case of active Crohn’s disease before treatment. Female, 32 years of age, active Crohn’s disease. A: T2WI showed intestinal wall thickening and submucosal edema in the distal ileum; B: Fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition showed intestinal wall thickening and submucosal edema in the distal ileum; C: Diffusion weight imaging showed marked high intensity; D and E: Dynamic enhancement showed obvious layer stratified enhancement.

Figure 2 Magnetic resonance imaging of a typical case of active Crohn’s disease after treatment (same patient as in Figure 1). She remained in the active Crohn’s disease group after treatment. A: T2WI showed intestinal wall thickened and submucosal edema decrease in the distal ileum; B: Fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition showed intestinal wall thickened and submucosal edema decrease in the distal ileum; C: Diffusion weight imaging showed less high intensity; D and E: Dynamic enhancement showed layer stratified enhancement.

Figure 3 Magnetic resonance imaging of a typical case of active Crohn’s disease before treatment. Male, 25 years of age, active Crohn’s disease. A: Fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition showed intestinal wall thickening and submucosal edema in the ascending colon; B and C: T2WI showed intestinal wall thickening and submucosal edema in the ascending colon; D and E: Dynamic enhancement showed obvious enhancement; F: Diffusion weight imaging showed marked high intensity.

Figure 4 Magnetic resonance imaging of a typical case of active Crohn’s disease after treatment (same patient as in Figure 3). The patient was in remission (inactive Crohn’s disease) after treatment. A: Fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition showed decreased intestinal wall thickening and no submucosal edema; B and C: T2WI showed decreased intestinal wall thickening and no submucosal edema; D: Diffusion weight imaging showed less high intensity; E: Enhancement showed less enhancement.
