Abstract

Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is an increasingly important pediatric imaging modality that is most often used to evaluate mostly inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), while sparing children from potential risks of ionizing radiation exposure. The younger children have to be investigating under anesthesia. To avoid anesthesia, patient preparation prior to imaging and protocol optimization are essential to consistently obtaining high-quality MR images of the young children bowel.
