Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of ultrasound imaging compared to MRE (Magnetic Resonance Enterography) a form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in accurately diagnosing and following Small Bowel Crohn Disease (SBCD) in children.

Conditions

  • Crohns Disease

Interventions

PROCEDURE

MRE (magnetic resonance enterography)

The MRE will take approximately 60 minutes to complete. Enrolled subject will have MRE imaging performed at about 4 weeks after treatment for small bowel crohn's disease begins, and when the treatment ends or changes or at 6 months, whichever comes first. The 4 week MRE will be for research purposes only, the treatment end,change or 6 month MRE may or may not be ordered by the treating physician as part of your routine care. If one is not ordered by the treating physician, the subject will have one performed because of the research study.

PROCEDURE

The Ultrasound scan, (UEI) Ultrasound Elastography Imaging with ARFI (acoustic radiation force impulse)

The US UEI will take about 60 minutes to perform. This exam will be performed by 2 different radiologists and you will have this completed 5 times over the course of the study. This imaging will be performed with the subject drinking oral contrast material. The US, UEI will be completed at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 3 months and at treatment end/change or 6 months, whichever comes first.

BEHAVIORAL

Study Questionnaires

The subject and their parent will be asked to answer questionnaires 2 weeks after the first MRE and US exams and again after the last imaging examinations are performed at treatment end/change or 6 months, whichever comes first. A Pediatric Crohn Disease Activity Index Assessment will be performed at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 3 months, and at treatment end/change or 6 months, whichever comes first. The study questionnaires should take no longer than 10 to 40 minutes to complete.
