MRI in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

NCT02255019 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 125

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to find an optimal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method to examine patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Patients should furthermore avoid being exposed to unnecessary X-rays and invasive examination.

It is the investigators expectation that this study will benefit to future patients, as they will be offered MRI as the first choice. Hereby, the patients avoid the risks and discomfort associated with x-ray examinations. The aim is that patients with IBD achieve better and earlier treatment and if this is achieved it both benefits patient and public health. An earlier treatment leads to fewer hospitalizations and thereby saving the community money.

The investigators hope is that the investigators study will show that MRI is one of the best tool to examine patients with IBD and that this in future leads MRI to be the first choice in contrary to all examinations with x-ray exposer, unless there is any contraindication to MRI.
