Abstract

In the young patient population, magnetic resonance enterography is fast becoming a preferred imaging tool for the investigation of patients with non-Crohn׳s small bowel and mesenteric pathologies. Its advantages include lack of ionizing radiation and high-contrast resolution. This review discusses the range of small bowel and mesenteric pathologies that can be easily demonstrated with this technique.
